Our Half-Day schedule meant that the Afternoon Class came to school in the morning today. It was fun to see those smiling faces bright and early! Despite the change in routine, the Afternoon Group jumped right in and got busy with Self-Portraits. We are documenting the children's progress in creating representational artwork by drawing monthly self-portraits. This monthly practice, along with regular Mat Man practice (our Handwriting Without Tears model) has already made a big difference in the children's artwork. Today the children were looking carefully at specific features -- hair, eyes, hands -- and trying to add these to their work.
In addition to Self-Portraits, we continued our work with The Three Bears. We read The Three Bears by Paul Galdone and followed our reading with some sorting work. We sorted porridge bowls, beds and chairs by size -- Large for Papa Bear, Medium for Mama Bear, and Small for Baby Bear.
