April!

April is coming!  Our theme for the month is The Earth.  We will be learning about dirt/mud, plants, recycling,

Some fun art and activities I have planned are:

• ·        Mud
• ·        Planting
• ·        Recycling
• ·        Trees
• ·        Coffee filter earths

We will be making art using recyclable materials and practice recycling.  I could use your help!  Please bring in recyclable bottles (milk, soda, and juice), junk mail, newspaper, toilet paper and paper towel tubes, cereal or other food product boxes.

A fun activity ‘clean mud’ I will be following the instructions from Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails (in case you would like to make some at home).  A great sensory activity exploring texture.

We will be planting seeds and watching them grow.  If you are available to help on Wednesday April 22 (please let me know) with planting our garden would be much appreciated.  If you have paper egg cartons please bring them in.

We will be making this craft from Glued to My Crafts using egg cartons as well. 

Our sensory table will contain dirt, exploring it both dry and wet.  Mid month it will change to rocks in various sizes
