It has been an awesome summer and thank you all for being so supportive when I left to go on my trip. Thank you to Teacher Brooke for filling in for me and to Teacher Thaovy also! The children had a great time and explored and learned a lot about light, shadows, and reflections too. Here are some things that happened in August while I was on my trip.
G exploring foil - making a boat
M making a foil masterpiece.
L making a silver man
Wow, look at our shadows - the children were very excited to see how big they looked.
A checking out her shadow.
I putting different colored magnetiles in front of the light to see what would happen.
It showed up red.
N and M coloring with chalk
Practicing our names to write on our cubbies.
M and P building with magna-formers on the light table.
The children painted a frame around the foil and then poked holes in the foil with tacs. The children used flashlights to see if the light would shine through the tiny holes.
L and M making lanterns
A couple months ago the children started to show interest in candles after a couple of their friends in the class went to a candle making place called Glow in downtown Willow Glen. The children picked a couple different colors and all the things they would need to make candles of their own.
I helping the wax melt.
Time to fill the candles. The children were very excited to show me their candles when I came back and they also had made me one. I was very excited!
We said goodbye to the rest of our friends going to Kindergarten and TK. And we also have welcomed two new faces J and T.
Hugs,
Teacher Kristina
