Week of 4/15

Dear Garden Room Parents,
 
Below is an update on the many fun activities that we were engaged in this week as we continued learning about different foods.
 
Books we read:

• Pancakes For Breakfast, by Tomie DePaola
• The Little Red Hen Makes Pizza, by Philemon Sturges
• If You Give A Cat A Cupcake, by Laura Numeroff
• If You Give A Moose A Muffin, by Laura Numeroff

 
Activities with Specialists:
 

• In Music with Noel, we sang  "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and  "Take Me Out To the Ballgame."
• In Movement with Lindsay, we enjoyed a fun Easter Egg hunt, and pretended to be monkey’s jumping on the bed as we sang and danced to Five Little Monkey’s Jumping On The Bed. 
• In Library with Lindsay, we read Every Friday by Dan Yaccarino.
• In Art we finger painted using red and blue paint to create a beautiful purple, we played with different colored foam shapes, and sparky pink sand at the light table.

 
Classroom Activities:
 

• We created a delicious muffin, using colorful tissue paper, gems and glitter.
• We fed our hungry caterpillar, delicious vegetables – using broccoli, corn, peas and carrots stickers.
• We made a cheesy personal pizza, using black buttons for olives, brown foam for mushrooms, red felt squares for pepperoni, and yellow strips for cheese.

 
Theme: FOOD – More Fun Foods – Pizza and Muffins
 
Highlight: We enjoyed the all-school Assembly, singing along with Noel to our favorite songs.
