Happy and Sad

For the second week of Mother Goose Time's me and my family theme we're learning about feelings.  Days 6 and 7 were happy and sad.

Elli worked on using the magnet set that was included in this months box to duplicate the pictures on the shape mats.  She also made some of her own creations.  

We read an interactive story about a sad giant.  There were actions included in the story, such as use blocks to build a turtle shell.  At the end there were comprehension questions that we went over.  

After the story Elli practiced making tears using water and a dropper to fill up cups.

For the invitation to create we looked at a painting by Picasso and talked about how it made us feel.  Elli used the provided materials to make her own picture, she said the plate was her and the red shape with eyes was a cat.  

We watched The Quit Story on youtube and then Elli made her own quilt picture using tissue paper and yarn.  She glued the tissue paper to the front of her paper and continued the quilt onto the back with more tissue paper and yarn.  She has lots of fun using the materials however she wants.

Elli also worked on making circles in her my little journal.  We will finish the week by learning about scared, mad and surprised.
