Nocturnal was a fun theme to teach. We got to talk about seeing in the dark, and how certain animals sleep all day long. It also gave way to some creative crafts and games.
One of the favorite games was Pin The Mask On The Raccoon.
One of the kids even caught her own nocturnal animal... a moth.
One of the cutest crafts was this owl made with real "owl" (chicken) feathers.
Some of this weeks motor skill activities included this 4-hoop version of basket ball,
Playing with moon-sand,
and playdough,
building cup towers,
and spinning marbles around and around in pots and other round things that make a great sound.
The bigger girls really loved this. On Friday we erased the Nocturnal scene chalkboard wall and let the kids draw all over it. I traced the girl"s and let them fill in the details. They thought it was so cool! (It was)
Not that you would know from the blog, since I am so far behind on updating it, but we have finished the Alphabet and are now learning about some awesome concepts like Opposites and other just-for-fun-themes like Circus. I can't believe there are only 7 weeks left in this school year!
