This week(s) we focused on RED and BIRDS
We read "Brown Bear Brown Bear" again every day before starting our activities.
We explored things that are the color red (in our PJ's... apparently :)
We colored a picture of a bird with a red crayon
We watched some videos about red birds
We painted with a feather in red paint
We red some more books about the color red and about birds from the library such as:
"Red is Best" - Stinson
"The Red Book" - Lehman
"7 Hungry Babies" - Candace Fleming
"Grumpy Bird" - Jeremy Tankard
We played with red aquarium gravel in a sensory bin
**Bonus: we got to see birds at the pet store when we went to buy the gravel
And Emmerson got to join in the fun on this one!
(In hindsight - I would have chosen some red utensils to play with the red rocks with.... next time!)
We glued red feathers to a bird template
We played with red aquarium rocks again with another friend!
We made a bird feeder out of toilet paper rolls and hung one from the porch and put one in a tree. We also left the blue dish of seed out on the porch.
It took a little while for the birds to figure out there was food around these parts but once they did there are birds in the tree or on our porch at most hours of the day! Ember will run over to the window and say "Bird... eat" since she is getting really good at putting two words together. It has been fun to watch!
And finally, we tried matching our Heads and Tails cards. Ember didn't quite get this yet but my plan is to do it EVERY week and to add in the new animal we talked about so hopefully by the end of the book/unit she will have it figured out!
Very fun week! And Ember can definitely point out the color red and say "bird"
