Blue Day!



Jasper's sumi-e painting.

Today we continued to learn about the ocean
and read Tickly Octopus (see Wednesday). We got out all of our large sea shells and the children had fun looking at them (and many other things) with the magnifying glasses. We also learned a new song, Ten Little Fish.

For blue day, we sang the song, If You Are Wearing Blue, and each of the children had a turn picking an action for the class to perform.

We looked at The Great Wave off Kanagawa by the Japanese artist Hokusai in art today. Then the children used sumi-e brushes, Kool-Aid watercolours, and rice paper to make their own paintings.

Today the sand was taken out of the sandbox, and it was turned into a marble box, complete with some Marbleworks!

REMINDERS: Friday is blue day and book orders are also due.
