Down on the 4K Farm..

Monday we created water coloring paintings! The project went along with our story “Friends” by Helme Heine

We created a chicken life cycle on Tuesday. We used our fine-motor skills to cut and math skills to put the pictures in the correct sequence.

We made inkblot cows on Wednesday and learned about symmetry.

Our week was wrapped up with a cuddly sheep project.

We have new barnyard toys in our room too!!

We apologize for the lack of photos this week. We have been busy testing students for report cards as well as working on our "Art Gallery". Did you miss the Art Gallery? We have a video of the artwork that was displayed.

A Creative Week in 4K

Our Art Show has been RELOCATED to the lower level of our center.

March calendar and newsletter have been posted to the links located to the left.
Have a fantastic weekend!

We Heart this Week

On Monday we worked on a three part pattern with hearts. Some of our friends need help with patterning, you can work on patterning at home when opportunities arise such as snack time.

We had so much fun giving/receiving valentines with friends on Tuesday. We also enjoyed many yummy treats, thank you to those who sent these in! You can check out our cute mailboxes on our Photo Gallery Page .

Wednesday we created heart collages. These projects are a favorite because the kids are creating similar yet unique projects. 

 On Thursday we worked with paint to create a hand-print heart tree. These works of art are decorating our classroom.

A Furry Fun 4K Week

Monday we drew our self portraits for our Person Books. The kids have been including much more detail in their pictures.

Tuesday we worked on cutting and sorting. We made our projects on the floor to work our tummy muscles. This is hard work!

We brought the paint out on Wednesday and used Q-tips to create an iguana. The Q-tips we used had to be opened like a band-aid. This was great fine-motor work.

Thursday we made adorable hamsters in a ball. Did you just love them?!?!

REMINDER: Our Valentine Party is on Tuesday Feb. 14th. If you haven't sent in your Valentine mailbox or valentines, please do so ASAP.

There are so many opposites that we've talked about this week. It made for a week full of learning! We made a porcupine after reading the book called, A Porcupine Named Fluffy on Monday. This required strong fingers to hold our paper plates closed and cut small snips.  

On Tuesday we brought out the paint to make opposite masterpieces. We painted with white paint on black paper and black paint on white paper. There were many creative opposites painted, these are hanging up around our classroom.

Wednesday’s project was an opposite memory game. We worked hard to color our pictures and we enjoy playing this game time and time again! 

Thursday we used stickers to show a jar that is empty and a jar that is full. This required a lot of fine motor skill, peeling stickers can be hard!

Please remember that Valentine boxes and Valentines are due next Thursday. We've enjoyed the creative boxes that have been brought in so far!

STEM Family Outreach Activity

What a fun time!  We really enjoyed our time in the STEM lab.  There was so many different things to do.  Look at some of the fun we had!

Once Upon a Time...

We enjoyed being royal this week. Monday we read about The Knight and the Dragon and created a dragon of our own. 

We worked hard on our fine-motor skills when we had to color in the lines with colored pencils to decorate a knight’s shield.

On Wednesday we made fancy crowns featuring a three-part pattern.

We wrapped up the week on Thursday with our Royal Tea Party that we dressed up in royal attire. We created a castle picture frame and put in a photo of our class in royal clothing.
