May Day and the letter Y.

Since May Day was May 1st , Funshine express planned in the curriculum to make May Day baskets. 

We used plastic cups, stickers and ribbons and pipe cleaners to make. It was easy and fast.

 

We are getting down to the end of the alphabet with the letter Y. "Y" is for yo yo. 

 

The next theme we are learning about is books and book worms. 

This book was the book of the month. 

We made our own books with a book worm. 

 

Earth day and and more

Last week we learned about earth day and working together to clean up the earth.

We made these cute earth pictures and added friends to it. "We all live together"

 

We also made a collage of different papers and others designs on them and texture. It was free art which is one the ways art can b expressed. 

 

Funshine express provided all the materials we used for these activities. I just provided the glue or scissors. 

They is why like using funshine so much. All the supples come right to my door. 

All about art.

We are learning all about Art. What tools we use, all different kind of pictures . 

  

One of the creative arts activity was experimenting with water colors and mixing colors on a pallet that we  learned was a tool artists use. 

 

Another form of art we learned about is free art. Drawing anything you want to. 

 

Chicks and more

We had fun learning about flowers, chicks , what happens at Easter. Amelia knows how to work the camera 📷 !

She is wearing the chick headband that was an activity for creative arts.

The girls did a great job tracing a flower pattern and adding straws for stems.

 

 

One of the games that came with funshine  curriculum was a match the egg to the right color nest. 

Spring

Spring has finally arrived and  here to stay I hope.

We have been doing a lot of spring activities with funshines express curriculum. 

We made these chick pictures using muffin liners and the worm is down and the bottom. 

 

The shape of the month is an oval, and one of the activities was to make a chic using the oval shapes from what curriculum. 

 Barrett and Amelia put on a pretty cute puppet using them.

There are letters of week that we go over every Monday and yesterday's was "W" is for work. They enjoyed placing their worms wherever.

 We will continue our unit on spring and move right into  our next. 

School. 

The letter V and yard pulling

Yesterday we started our new theme Egg-citing Changes.

The letter V is the letter for the 1st 2 weeks.  We placed Vegetables on the letter V.
 
 

Something else I have not mentioned about the curriculum is in each theme there is collection checklist. For each day it lists the supplies you need and what area. This helps when I  close ton supples and getting ready for the week. It also gives you time to get them if you do not already have them. 

 

Last week we made fun yard pulling art. We put a peice of yarn on paint and closed the paper , then pulled the yarn all around.

Once the kids understood what it was, they had fun pulling the yarn every which direction. 

Pirates etc....

We are on our last week of sail away and will move onto April themes. This year flew by. 

During circle time we talked about why pirates like to find gold coins in buried treasures. 

We did some coin rubbings. The girls thought it was really cool to see the coin come on paper. We did all different shapes. 

 

Lighthouses are also part of the curriculum talk. I am not sure I have ever seen a real lighthouse myself, but we looked up all kinds of lighthouses. 

 

During free choice time the girls decided to make a ship and the barbies would float on it. Oh the conversations that were going on were great!

  

The girls really liked these treasure boxes that they made. They knew the gold paper was good because it was gold. They had a lot of fun playing with the pirate that was with the treasure .
