Animals all around

Mary had a little lamb pull you was a huge hit. The friends pulled the sheep right along while we played the song Mary had a little lamb.

The friends even made the "baa" sound.

One of the activities for animals all around theme was making binoculars. Let me tell you, this was such a fun activity. First, the friends used them to find all kinds of jungle animals, then they decided to make a train and ride it around in the safari and use their binoculars to find animals. 

One if the table activities(that is what j call them) was knot learn about the opposites  above and below. The friends had to figure out which items belonged above or below the ground. 

Next week is our final week for summer. I AMY continue to post things we did he last week and some different things in the summer. I look forward to returning in the fall! 

This code is good for getting a new kit or save it and use it on one in the fall.

May flowers...

Gosh, we are down to our 2 weeks of school. This year flew by. 

We have been doing a lot of flowers and rain activities. It has been raining a lot so it's been perfect.

We got water colors out to decorate our big flowers. It had been awhile since we painted with water colors and the friends observed that when they dip the paintbrush in the water , the paint disappears and the water gets dirty. Interesting how that works huh?

This flower game was on of the many activities that came with the Funshine curriculum. At first I just set it  out and observed what they would do. Some just placed the flowers in the garden, others just sorted the flowers without the garden. 

After that, than we did the songs that go with them. 

We made these cute Mother's Day cards.  When they open them up, the moms get a smiling face looking at them.

I made some tulips with foil and put in some music and the friends jumped from tulip to tulip to music. They loved it!

Remember to claim your code if you have not. It expires next month. 

End of let it rain

Last week we wrapped up our let it rain theme. It rained a lot, so it was a perfect theme. We saw a lot of puddles form.

We worked on fine motor by using droppers with paint to make puddles.

One of the games in the Funshine curriuculm this month was to match the sailboat to the raincoat colors. 

One of be books that was on the Funshine book list was Little Cloud. After we learned about all the shapes the clouds were, we made our own shapes using cottonballs.
