S is for Scared

Tavion's Q-tip Painting

Today we started learning about the letter ‘S’. We are also starting a new theme of friends & feelings. We read the book, Scaredy Squirrel by Canadian author and illustrator, Melanie Watt. The children talked about different things that they are scared of and learned that everyone is scared of something at some time.

In music, the children played their rhythm sticks to the song, A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea. First we played a steady beat, then we played only on the music cue of “sea, sea, sea”.

In art, we used Seurat as inspiration, and the children tried out pointillism by using Q-tips to create dot paintings.
