Spring Theme Week 3

Hello Spoede Pre-K Families,

We enjoyed a week of nice spring weather and fun spring activities!.

Monday- We made Picasso influenced portraits of Mr. Bjerk for Principal Appreciation Day! They turned out really cool. Each grade level and class did different takes on Mr. Bjerks image and we chose the abstract for creativity, following directions, and lots of great fine motor practice. This was an involved project and took up all of our center time to complete. The students did an amazing job of coloring the difference face parts with difference colors, cut out all of the face parts, water color painted the head shot, and then glued all the pieces into a face that became Mr. Bjerk! They had to stay focused, following all of the directions and showing perseverance in completing the whole project.

Tuesday- NO SCHOOL. Voting Day and Professional Development for teachers

Wednesday- Started the day celebrated Julia's 5th Birthday with Go Noodle Birthday songs and Danny Go Movement activitie of her choice.mFor centers we completed our Mr. Bjerk project, dot painted spring butterflies, We had reqad the book, Looks Like Spilt Milk about clouds and made our own shape clouds out of cotton balls. We also worked on leaves for our cherry blossoms, using pastel crayons to make the outlines and water color painting to color the leaves. In the afternoon, we had Julia's Birthday Celebration with Julia's Grandparents! Grandmother read a book "All about Julia" and provided party favors for all of the students.

Thursday- We finished up projects, including cutting out and gluing leaves to our cherry blossoms flowers to make our bulletin board. Rainbow tracing of first and last names. We finally had a good day to find shapes and objects in clouds!

Friday- Art with Ms. Tara. We started making hammerhead sharks for the Fine Arts Show!
