Week of 5/6

Hello Sky Room Families!

This week in the Sky Room we learned all about Mother’s Day. We each shared what we love most about our mother’s, and how thankful we are to have them in our lives.

Classroom Activities:

• Using watered down acrylic paints, each student decorated a ceramic pot for their mother. Before painting, the students looked at each color and chose what colors they thought their mom would like the most. 


• After our pots dried, the students poured soil and a little bit of water and planted a flower inside of the pot.


• The students were interested in learning about the ocean a bit more, so we made starfish using orange paper, glue, glitter and added on some Cheerio’s for a textural effect!

 
Songs We Sang:

• “I Love My Mommy!”
• “M-O-M-M-Y!” (sung to the tune of “Bingo")

 
Books We Read:

• Me and My Mom!, by Alison Ritchie
• Stay Close to Mama, by Toni Buzzeo
• I Love My Mami, by Judy Katschke

Reminders:

• The Central Park Zoo trip is on Friday, May 17th. Every child must be accompanied by one adult. No siblings, please.

Have a great weekend!
