Island getaways

This week and last we have been talking about islands and oceans and sea creatures. 
I first have to say, when starting school after summer breaks can be hard and transitioning to a structure schedule will happen over time. 
So circle time had a been an ongoing learning process. Learning to sit, takes turns speaking and listening. 
 They might not be looking at you,or to sitting  the right way or playing, but one day when play is happening and the kids play circle time and you hear them saying the words we are learning, counting the calender with the pointy stick and then I hear "it's August" exactly how I say it and I make such a big deal out of it because they are listening and looking and it shows . Imaginary play is the best and so much learning can happen.

All the material comes with the kit when you purchase curriculm with Funshine express. 








Ok, on with the fun. 
On Friday we made a beach scene with beach chairs and an umbrella. 
My favorite was Amelia added people to the chairs and just had a conversation. 





Today we made fish with shiney fins. The consensus was it was Dori.
