Happy Birthday Jake!

We made a delicious birthday cake for Jake's birthday. We put icing and red sprinkles and a big number three onto Jake's cake.

Thank you Jake for the birthday gifts.

All about me, continued

Our school theme for the past couple of weeks  and this week is "All about me".

After speaking about our faces we went on to talk about parts of our body. We traced some of our  (brave;) friends during circle time , and stuck on parts of the body that we were able to identify.

We then went on to talk about our five senses. 

Hands are for feeling. We passed around rough sandpaper, bumpy velcro,  a smooth hard stone,soft felt , and soft velcro, to feel with our hands

Jake and Gaby are feeling with their hands things that are soft.

Livia is feeling a hard stone.

We felt  all different textures .

Eyes are for seeing. We could see through the sunglasses when they were on our eyes, but when we put them on our tummy , we couldn't see through them. When we had our eyes open we were able to see ourselves in the mirror, when we covered our eyes, we could no longer see ourselves in the mirror.

We passed around small bags with cloves , cinnamon sticks, and smelling candles to smell with our noses....When we put those same bags on our shoulders , ears, knees etc...we couldn't smell anything from them!

We passed around cool bells to shake and LISTEN to. Ears are for hearing .

We also stuck circle shaped tissue paper onto a paper to make a beautiful ,colorful, collage!

We all had a chance to decorate the first letter of our name with colorful dot paints!
