Fun with Red and Yellow!!!

                             



Hi Parents,

This week at Little Dreamers we'll be continuing our Color Unit by studying Red and Yellow!!  We'll be filling our senses with the smells, tastes, feelings and sounds of Color!  Preschool will be studying Red and Yellow Apples- by tasting their differences, smelling their differences and seeing their beautiful colors we'll discuss why our world is so colorful and how its possible that Nature makes so many beautiful colors! We'll listen to canary's and Cardinals and see if we can tell which one is which!  We'll touch the rough glitter of our Red Ruby Slippers and the soft Yellow paper we'll use to make our rays of Sunshine!  Preschool will be working on  handwriting by practicing the words "red," "yellow," and by writing our names! Our Toddlers and infants will be focusing on their sense of sight!  By seeing and experiencing Red and Yellow through their art projects and through sensory stimulation like Play Dough and Finger paint, our little ones will make Red and Yellow memories with their hands! 
    For Mardi Gras (On Wednesday) we'll learn the history behind the celebration and have our own party by making beautiful, colorful Pasta necklaces and wearing them around school for the day!  We'll finish the week with a celebratory Doughnut Party just like they do in New Orleans to celebrate Fat Tuesday and the joys of life (like doughnuts!!)!! 

Miss Jessica
