Shapes, Self-Portraits, and Sunflowers, Oh My!

We had a very busy week in Classroom 5A!  We are all enjoying learning the rules of the classroom and exploring new centers. 

At art center we used loose parts, yarn and mirrors to create our very own self-portraits.  We used the mirrors to find which color paper matched our skin tone, which color gems or buttons matched our eyes, nose and mouth, and which color yarn matched our hair.  We had a lot of fun creating using the different loose parts.

 

 

At science center we observed the sunflower that the Studio Educators provided for us for our classroom.  We used magnify glasses to look at the flower closer and even drew some of our observations!

At math center we explored with Tangrams.  We found the shapes to fill in pictures to make things like frogs and fish!

At block center we drove cars and built with arches.  We made the arches into tunnels and hills. 

At dramatic play we played house and explored all of the food, dishes and babies we have in this center.
