Trains, Tie-dye & Turner

Today we continued learning about different modes of transportation. We read a book about passenger and freight trains. Then we played a steady beat on our rhythm sticks to a song called A Pilot Likes to Fly Her Plane, Plane, Plane. In art we looked at a painting by J.M.W. Turner, titled Rain, Steam and Speed -- The Great Western Railway, and painted our own 'oil' paintings.

We also tie-dyed our shirts that we'll wear on our fieldtrips. The shirts will be sent home with the children on Friday. Please wash them separately in cold water.

Our letter this week is the letter 'J'. We jumped, jiggled around and sang Jelly in Bowl with lots of giggling!
