Week of 1/14

1/18/2019

 
Dear Red Room Families,

It was a chilly week in the Red Room. Here are some of our wintry activities:
 
Theme:
  • Winter and Martin Luther King Jr.

Some Books We Read:

  • Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King, by Jean Marzollo
  • The Big Snow, by Berta and Elmer Hader
  • The Little Snowflake, by Steve Metzger

Centers:

  • We made a special friendship wreath in the art center  in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of love and  equality.
  • In the math center we estimated how many cotton balls could fit onto a picture of a snowman and then counted the actual amount.
  • In science we made “snow” by combining water with the inside powder of a (clean!) diaper! The children enjoyed exploring the fluffy texture of the mixture and then used the balance scale to measure the weight of the heavy snow with other objects in the room.
  • In the building center, the children used marshmallows and toothpicks to construct igloos and caves.
  • We wrote about our favorite winter activities in the writing center.
  • The children sliced and mixed fruit into yogurt and then froze it overnight for a delicious frosty treat in the cooking center.

Something Fun We Did:

  • We started a book club in the Red Room! Once a week, we will gather together at the end of the day to read and discuss a few chapters in our Book of the Month.
  • Book of the Month: Judy Moody Is In A Mood by, Megan McDonald
 
Letter of the Week:
