Today we took off our shoes and socks and enjoyed steeping in paint! This is never easy and I think we got white paint not only on the bottoms of our feet, but on everything we touched! Good thing it's washable! With our feet white we stepped onto black paper. When the paint dried, we colored with black markers a ghost face. When I told the children we were making ghost with our feet, they didn't believe me. It wasn't until I made a face did they see the ghost. One or two of the children didn't want to step in paint, so we just traced their shoe instead then colored it white.
We read the book, "Be Nice To Spiders", about a helpful spider who lives at the Zoo and ate the flies that bothered the animals. Although spiders can be kinda scary, they can also be helpful. We colored a haunted house, and attached a straw to the house to represent a drain pipe. BTW the children didn't know they had drain pipes on their house. We took a short trip outside to see the pipes on Miss Janalynn's house, where I explained their function of catching the rain and how the water pours out at the bottom. Hopefully now the song, "Itsey, Bitsey Spider" will make more sense.
Singing time was fun, because we used our houses with the drain pipe straws and spiders, when we sang "Itsey, Bitsey Spider". All the children knew the words, and we sang it over, and over, and over. They were reluctant to learn the nursery song, "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" until we played a game while singing it. Over all singing time was the highlight today!
