Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Families! Announcements:
We had a great week celebrating friendship and love! One thing we did was go around the circle and share things that we like about each person. Some snippets were: “I like that they play with me” and “I like that when I ask for space, they give me space.” — how sweet! They all enjoyed giving out their valentines to their friends. We did many heart and valentine’s day activities this week, one being the valentine yoga pose. They sat with legs criss-cross and made a heart with their hands as they closed their eyes and took some deep breaths. Ask them to show you how to do it! On Monday and Tuesday, we did some outdoor exploration through the snow towards the soccer field (near the garden). The snow was so deep, it went above their knees! We played a game called “What Time is it Mr. Fox” where someone stands at end of the field and everyone else stands at the other, similar to Red Light, Green Light. The kids at the other end yell “What time is it Mr. Fox?” and the child who is Mr. Fox will say a time like 3 o’clock, and the kids take 3 steps towards the fox. When they are getting pretty close and ask again, the fox yells “dinner time!!!” and chases them. They love it so much! It was hard to chase in the snow, but they really enjoyed themselves. Both classes enjoyed playing with water and ice with watercolor paint. They mixed colors with little droppers and scooped/poured to their hearts content! On Monday, they helped dye rice in bags and spread it all out to dry so we could play with it later that day and throughout the week. It was a huge hit. There were heart gems mixed in with the rice. On Thursday, they liked getting some animal toys and burying them in the rice and having me try to guess what animal it was. Due to the icy conditions outside on Thursday, we went to the gym! They were all very excited and kept saying how much they love the gym. We took out balls and some mats. They loved practicing kicking and throwing the balls and chasing each other. On Thursday, we played with the castle and dragon. We limited the area to only 2 kids at a time and made sure that everyone got a turn to play there if they wanted to. That was something that was really successful, and the kids were all excited for their turn, but respectful of others while they had a turn. Ask Your Child: Did you play with rice this week? Was the rice a different color (or colors)? Enjoy your weekend, Deanna
