Week 2: Fall, Thanksgiving, Animals
I really loved the activities this week. They were so "fallish" and very appropriate for the season. The leaf painting and collage both turned out so beautiful. On Tuesday we made "nature soup" and looked to see what objects floated and what objects sank. (Only the rocks sank.) The kids loved collecting things and putting them in the water table. Then we did a painting craft with watercolors and drawing leaves. The trees looked very lovely and artsy.
On Thursday we collected the prettiest leaves we could find to make a leaf collage. I thought the leaf collage was so beautiful with real leaves. We also introduced a new learning center with blocks and pictures of different structures to build.
