Reviewed classroom rules

Sang our hello to our friends with photo cards; Ms. Rappaport tried to trick the class this by mixing up names and pictures, no one was fooled!
Read our poem out-loud and took turns pointing to our body parts
Learned the song “Five Green and Speckled Frogs”
What books did we read this week?
Who had jobs?
Line Leaders: Ethan and Hannah
Plant Helpers: Hannah and Maika
In art this week we made:
A Frog on a Lily Pad
Kids used pot scrubbers to paint the entire surface of the plate, wrapped paper around a pencil for the tongue, experienced the feeling of getting their hand painted, and made a handprint by pressing flat hands down on paper
Fly swatter frog
The students were asked to “speckle” their frog. They learned out how to cover their fly swatter with paint and exert enough force to “swat” down and make a print. Kids were then asked to twist tissue paper into “flies” and press them into the paper
Kids also used hole punches, stickers, glue sticks, and bingo markers during free art stations.
Sensory table fun
