Fall is in the air!

With Ms. Melissa on vacation this week we have Ms. Liza with us again! Fall is in the air at Over the Rainbow especially after our field trip to cider hill. This week we learned about our 5 senses pertaining to fall. Things such as weather, leaves, apples etc. We also decorated the daycare for the season with our weekly projects and it looks so festive! The kids really enjoyed cutting, coloring, painting, gluing and getting messy. We hope everyone has a great weekend, see you Monday :)

My amazing body

With ms. Amanda on vacation, the children were so excited to have ms. Liza back with us!! 

We are continuing our body theme and also doing a small apple unit with the apples we picked on Friday.

The children observed x-rays and learned about their bones in their bodies. They also did apple lacing and started making a scarecrow.

We had fun dancing to HOT POTATO, HEAD SHOULDERS KNEES AND TOES AND HANDS ON MY HEAD.

Field trip day!

This morning we went to cider hill farm bright and early so we were the first ones there! The kids had the whole orchard to themselves and loved eating apples that they picked. We also had yummy cider doughnuts and fresh apple cider. We saw and fed goats, pigs, ducks and chickens and went on the swings. A big thanks to Ricky's mom and Jacob and Matthew's mom for helping out today, we had so much fun!

My amazing body! Arms

We learned that we need our arms to help us hold, catch and throw. The most important thing we learned was that arms are for hugging!

We did the wheels on the bus and head shoulders knees and toes!!

Reminder: Apple picking on Friday. Please read the field trip page for more info.

Week 2 of my amazing body

Today we got to lay on the table and Ms. Melissa traced us! It was fun to see drawings of ourselves with our different outfits, colors and heights. We also learned about what it means to have manners and to be polite. Ask me about my "I am polite" bracelet that we got today while being polite during a story about good manners.

Amazing body day 3

The question of the day today was,"what can I touch to my head?" 

It was fun to try to touch different body parts to our heads. We again counted the different body parts on our head. We used a Mirror to see the parts we knew and the parts who's names were new to most of us: forehead, eyebrows, chin, and neck.

We danced to, I CAN WIGGLE MY FINGERS, HEAD SHOULDERS KNEES AND TOES AND HANDS ON SHOULDERS.

My body day 2

Today we looked in the mirror at our faces. We noticed that we all have two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two ears etc. We also saw that sometimes our friends have different color hair, eyes and shades of skin. We drew our heads on paper plates to put on our "look how much I've grown!" Project.

My body!

We are back to a great school year. 

We began our unit on my body!! We traced and painted our arms and hands. We make "me puppets".

The color of the week is brown. We flew brown birds around the room to find something brown.

To reinforce our body parts we played STAY AWAY ALLIGATOR! .
