Ms. Amy's Class Fall 2012

Welcome to Ms. Amy's 1-year old class
 
 
Catching bubbles!
 

 
They love to dance with our colorful ribbons
 
 
Enjoying lunch :)

 
This is a very active class.  They are always in motion!!

 
We squished shaving cream with  red and yellow paint in a baggie and
watched it turn orange.
 
 
 
 
Peeling tape off of the mirror.



 
 
Welcome to Ms. Amy's Pumpkin Patch :)
 

 
One of the fun parts of a pumpkin patch is the corn  or hay bale maze.
Since we had neither corn stalks or hay bales, Ms. Amy made a maze
out of the beds.  Here is the class starting the maze...
 
 
Finding their way out....
 
...and what did they find?  Pumpkins of course.
 
Happy Fall!!

In Ms Abby's Class

In Ms Abby's Class we...
 
Build things with marshmallows and straws...and snack a little while we are at it.
Learn how fun it is to (very) carefully cut with scissors.
Get wet splashing around with the sea animals at the water table.
Proudly show off our engineering skills.
Have fun playing with our "class pets."
Practice fine motor skills moving pom-pom balls with clothes pins.
Get to work cleaning our playground toys.
Splash around in the soapy water, and then hang the rags to dry on our clothes line.
Have fun making a mess at the colored rice table.
Put on our firefighter suits, get our water hose, and all work together to stop the fire in our class room!
Practice letter recognition in only the most fun ways.
 
 We have discovered that we love dramatic play. We quietly read stories together, and we loudly sing songs. We relax at nap time by listening to classical music and poems. We run and explore during outdoor time. We are thrilled when we get to go on nature walks, and feed the ducks.
We are always willing to get dirty during art time.
 
We don't even realize, that in all of this, we are learning!
