This week was all about pumpkins! We decorated pumpkins to take home and explored the inside and outside of a pumpkin! The outside was hard and smooth and the inside was wet and gooey. We took turns checking out the seeds that were inside and counting them.
Working in our journals and playing with playdoh is fun, but we are also secretly strengthening our fine motor muscles - the first step in learning how to write!
After reading the books Mouse Paint and Little Blue and Little Yellow, we did our own color mixing just like in the stories. Instead of using paint brushes, we used our fingers to create some new colors. We started out with red, yellow and blue paint...and we were able to make orange, purple, green and brown by mixing them together!
