Today has been all about color! After Lindsay lead us through morning meeting, we read Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. In this story, Harold uses his imagination to discover all kinds of things - he draws everything from his imagination with a purple crayon. He goes for a walk with the moon and discovers a forest, dragon, the ocean, the city, and eventually, his bedroom where he falls fast asleep. We used our imaginations and went on an adventure with a purple crayon of our own. The children's creations will be hanging in the room soon, so be sure to stop in and take a look.
After our Early Learner music class with Kim, the children wanted to do an art project. They decided on "dot marker" drawings (they're similar to bingo markers). While using these markers, a lot of ink comes out allowing the colors to blend together. They turned out beautifully and we had many discussions about what happens when two - or sometimes three - colors mix. Orange seemed to amaze the children the most. Ask them which colors make orange when mixed.
Please check your child's folder for an important yellow paper. This form is regarding our upcoming conference (Jan. 28) and needs to be filled out and returned by Friday, Jan. 14.
I only received one response to my request yesterday! Please email me (katlync@communityschool.net) or write in your child's folder regarding Scholastic Book Club flyers. I need to know if you would like to continue receiving the flyers. If not, I will put them in recycling! Please let me know either way you decide that way I have your preference accounted for. Thanks!
