Rainbow Connection 2011: April 2012

Melissa's Lead Day

A parachute activity before leaving the gym...

Bells and triangles at group time...

Grocery store play...

Painting on grocery bags...

New books...

Magnatiles

Washing babies...

And then the boys came up with their own idea - build a tower with hollow blocks and fill it all the way up!

And a story with a puppet to hug as we head outside!

(Just FYI if you see some new faces - we combine with Gold Room on Fridays!)

Small Group time has been going really well. We split up into groups of 6 and read a story and then do an activity. Typically we rotate so that each group does each activity throughout the week. So if Blue group paints on Monday, it will be Yellow's turn on Tuesday and Red's on Wednesday.
Here is Yellow Group doing Under the Table art...

while Red Group used pop beads - and ended up getting an introduction to measuring with non standard units!

Meanwhile Blue Group painted...

Choice Time

Our reading/Writing Center get busy. In case you are wondering, it's not that cold in the book area...she looks like she's freezing because they are reading the F the Flamingo Freezes page from the Amazing Action Alphabet. The kids love acting out the letter!
