Harvest Time
This week the Sea Stars will be discussing what the meaning of Harvest is. We will discuss the cycle these fruits and vegetables go through and hopefully get to compare it to life itself. The children loved our discussion today and enjoyed the story "Growing Vegetable Soup."
We looked and felt different vegetables and cut them to see what they look like inside. Once we observed we sat at the art table and stamped with them! The children had a blast and are very excited about the topic.
REMINDER- Turn in your permission slips for Thursday's fieldtrip to the Farmer's Market. We are looking forward to our special cooking when we come back.
Have a wonderful week and enjoy the photos taken of the children in action.

Monday Football :)
HELLO SEA STAR FAMILIES! By the title you can guess what week we are in :) Miss Mariana isn't very football savvy but I did my research and we will learn the basics of the game, plus I think it’ll be one of those weeks were the children end up teaching me more :)
So that the children don’t end up running the class wildly we will combine it with the color brown. We will learn how to make brown and identify the different shades of brown we see around us (one example, ourselves). We had such a fun week last week experimenting with our 5 senses that we will continue to brush up on that until we run out of interest. Refer to my page to see new photos of last week and ones coming up from this week.
Much Love,
Miss Mariana
A little something we made quickly to make cars a bit more interesting :)

Tuesday Blog
Hello Everyone!! This week the seahorse class will be talking about our 5 senses: Taste, touch, smell, seeing and hearing. These senses are the topics we will be exploring this week. We will be doing a lot of hands on and sensory activities to help the children explore these senses.
Yesterday we talked about all the senses and focused on the sense of touch. We played with hair gel and put different things in it to see how they felt. We also finger painted and boy did they enjoy using their fingers to mix colors and paint.
Today we reviewed a little of what we learned yesterday and focused on Hearing. We talked about music and different things we hear. We played musical chairs while playing musical (percussion) instruments. It was a task for them to Really listen when the music was turned off so they could grab a chair. This was so much fun. (Lot's of pictures to come.)
The rest of the week we will be Exploring the remaining sense's. Please see the lesson plan for the share theme. Have a good night and a great week.
