WELCOME SPRING!

I was in awe and proud of what I saw in my two year old's class at her day care. The picture shown below is a result of the collaborative output of her classmates, herself and most of all, her talented and creative teachers. There was also a short write-up by her teachers that I am posting here as written by them. - Anita


April Showers Bring May Flowers - By Sandra & Nanette


This week we talked about April showers and how they bring May flowers.
Our project were a three day process:
On Day One we observed the rain clouds and made our own clouds by mixing white paint, black paint and glue.
On Day Two we observed the rain drops and made rain with paint and glitter.

On Day Three we talked about how flowers need the rain and made our own beautiful flowers out of our hands.

These projects exposed the children to pre-science concepts, and allowed them to express themselves creatively.
And, it was also a lot of fun!
