Gone Fishing

This morning we read the book Super Submarines by Tony Mitton & Ant Parker. Then we went on our own imaginary submarine to explore the ocean. We saw some fish, alligators, a dolphin, and almost went over a waterfall once again. We continued to learn about the letter ‘K’, and talked about our upcoming fieldtrip to the library on Monday. The children also explored tempo some more by moving to music with fast and slow sections.

In art we looked at Paul Klee’s (pronounced clay) The Golden Fish, a painting made with oil and watercolour on paper. The children used oil pastels and watercolours to make their own artwork, and we discovered that oil and water do not mix.
It was Judson’s special day today, and he brought a toy combine and tow truck to share with the rest of the class. He also brought mini oranges and pretzels to share at snack time. Thank you Darren & Jennifer for all of your help with these goofy kids today!
