Like I said in an earlier post, Liz and Al have started regular lessons. Our first mini-unit is on the human body. Today we learned all about our hands. We learned that they help us pick things up. That they feel things and make things. We learned we have 10 fingers on them. We also learned that we could do something really neat: finger paint!
This is our little set up. I use masking tape to secure one of those plastic table cloths to the floor or the kitchen table. Then we put on our smocks (w/ pockets, of course - they always are thrilled with the pockets). We discuss the rules and the purpose (to show how we use our fingers for this assignment). Then they have free reign to do whatever they feel they want to do. It almost always turns out wonderfully.
they both did such a great job following directions!
Art is one of Liz's favorite things to do now. She is also the messiest, but seem to have the most fun too. I'm okay with that. It's children's washable paint. I should know too - it ended up all over the bathroom where they cleaned up. Super easy to clean for me!
Love Ally's very clean painting. She's very precise in all her work. A nice habit to encourage. It's always fun to discover natural talents for things in your kids. It means a habit or passion you don't have to do much to encourage.
messy fingers!
what did you learn about? NOTHING! Awesome, just what a teacher wants to hear! So funny.
