We had a great time with Letter G this week. I had found some fun foam circles in our art closet that someone had donated and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to use them for a craft with glitter! Sure we will have glitter in our room for all eternity but that is okay. We always have a few sparkles on the carpet from some project and it makes me smile. Glitter does that...it makes us smile...well at least it makes me smile :-) I asked each child the first letter of their name, placed the glue and then they sprinkled glitter over the letter. We also sang, 'I love glitter, I love glitter. It's pretty and shiny and fun.' (West Side Story-I Feel Pretty) I just made this up on the fly and couldn't think of a second line so we just kept singing that over and over.
Green Goo was today-some children opted not to make goo. Each child was given a small cup and changed the white glue to green with food coloring. I added the liquid starch and the kids stirred. G is for good times. We will get the goo out next week in the art center. For complete directions---http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2010/10/green-goo.html
Aren't you grateful we do this gross stuff at school?
