Fun during our Clothing Unit

We had a great time learning about clothing During October. We sorted clothes, had a clothing store dress up center, examined buttons on clothes and then even sewed our own buttons on to burlap and made fabric collages.  We changed our graph each day based on if students were wearing shorts, pants or a dress. We made paper people and described the kind of clothes our paper people were wearing and also made a class book called "I'm growing" with pictures of clothes that the children wore when they were a baby. Mrs. McRae's Mom, Mrs. Sue Sue was a special visitor that talked to PreK 3 about knitting. This Friday, Mrs. Jenny Hall is going to come and show us how she makes clothes. 

                 Enjoy some pics of our clothing unit projects.

Five Senses Fun 2012


We had so much fun exploring our five senses last week! We painted with strawberry paint and learned a five senses song. We decorated bears with different textures. We made orange scented play dough, had a taste test on Friday and for our final activity we explored all five senses and had a popcorn party. We also made a class book based on the book "It looked like spilt milk" We had so much fun exploring our senses! We use our senses everyday!

We had to follow a recipe to make play dough 






After we made our orange play dough we had fun stamping letters in the play dough!

This paint smelled sweet! 

Lemons taste sour!

Waiting to hear the popcorn pop!

Popcorn was a yummy way to end our five senses unit!
