Spinning

We couldn't believe what we saw outside.  It was snowing when we came to school.  It snowed the whole time we were there.  Even the grass started to get snow stuck to it.  When is Spring going to be here?

Besides the clothespins and fun Popsicle sticks, we had a few other things to play with today.  Mrs. Myers had a color game for us.  There were mats of different colors on the floor.  Mrs. Myers played some music and we all walked around the mats.  When the music stopped, we looked to see what color we were standing on and then we told Mrs. Myers. 

We also had the Tangrams at the tables.  Those are little wooden shapes like triangles, squares, and diamonds.  They are fun to use to make patterns or to make funny shaped things.

Mrs. Whiteman had a great big piece of cardboard for us.  We took some paintbrushes and water and we got to paint on the cardboard.  That was fun.

Our story today was called, "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!"  Oh my goodness, it was hilarious.  A little boy makes a mess with his paints and his mom hollers at him and tells him, "You ain't gonna paint no more."  He finds his paints and sings a song while he paints all of the different parts of his body.  This was a very colorful story and it rhymed.  You should hear the ending. 

Our snack was skinny stick pretzels and granola bars.  Yum.  Thank you, Wyatt.  Our Tuesday snack was carrots.  We like carrots and they are good for us.  Thank you, Julian.  Right after that we got to play and do our art.  Oh my.  We had something very special at the Art Table.  Mrs. Myers had a special spinning machine.  She put a circle of white paper on its turntable  and when you turned it on, the paper went around and around.  While the paper was spinning, we got to dribble some paint onto it.  Whoa.  You should see how cool the paper looked when we stopped the machine.  There were mixed colors and fun lines.  We all had to watch it was so neat.

We want to thank Aidan's sister for coming to help with our class today.  Thank you!  Also, on Tuesday, Mrs. Myers daughter came and helped.  Thank you!
