Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Families! Announcements:
I’m glad it finally stopped snowing. I hope I didn’t jinx us by saying that. The kids have enjoyed not needing anything but a jacket to go outside to play. With less of a transition, this means we get a few minutes extra outside! The kid on Monday and Tuesday enjoyed the flower shop. They took all the flowers and brought them over to the classroom library for a wedding. No one knew who was actually getting married, but it was fun! On Tuesday, the class did a directed drawing. What is a directed drawing? “Directed drawings are a step by step approach to drawing something. The teacher guides, or directs, students in the steps to create a drawing.” While I believe that process art over product art is better, here are some benefits to directed drawing once in a while: practice drawing shapes, crossing the midline when drawing, following directions, taking turns, and working on pencil grip. Their birds came out great! They are hanging up inside our classroom. Check them out next time you are in. I missed the Wed/Thurs kiddos this week! I was told they had a fantastic day on Thursday with Crystal, Kim, and Mrs. May. Both classes painted paper plates yellow and dropped sunflower seeds on the plates. They all enjoyed this because they got to eat some sunflower seeds! Next week, they will work together to measure how tall they are and that will be their sunflower stem. Ask Your Child: Did you read a book about fruits and vegetables? What color fruit/vegetable is your favorite? Why? [Then have your child ask you the same question] Deanna
