Coffee, Colors and Castles

Our MWF classes have enjoyed working with the Letters C and D.  We have a castle in our room! http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2011/10/mcp-castle.html  Some of us LOVE the coffee play dough.  It smells like coffee but looks like brownies and fudge.  One mom made the comment "This is why we send our children to preschool!"  If you don't like playdough at your house, you will definitely not like coffee playdough.  It's really messy and gooey and we love it!   Love messes?  Want the recipe?  http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2013/07/play-grounds.html

 

 

We are painted fall trees with corks.

 

 

We mixed colors. The children learned about primary and secondary colors.  We also learned some art vocabulary---portrait, self-portrait, landscape, seascape and still life.  I drew samples on a chart and the children also looked at samples of each genre.  Good thing I teach preschool because I would really suffer as an artist!

The tree in our garden bulletin board has changed from green summer leaves to beautiful fall colors. Many of the golden leaves are cut from mailing envelopes.
