Art, Pumpkins and Magic

Our preK classes have been busy with art, pumpkins and magic!  Here's what's happening...

Each child will be making a jack-o-lantern jar for Halloween.

The Magic Potions experiment is one of our centers. What  liquid and powder will make the magic?

Five Little Pumpkins
 We are putting five little pumpkins on a gate.  Number recognition and counting and then we press the easy button.

The children are familiar with primary and secondary colors. We introduced the concept of warm and cool colors.  We are also learning to identify a portrait, self-portrait, landscape, seascape and still life.  We looked at Van Gogh's Sunflowers and then we learned that a circle and the Letter U will make a flower.  Get some crayons or markers and draw some flowers with your child!
