Extended Day Week Two

Extended Day Week Two

Threads of interest have started to develop during week two of the Extended Day program!

This week, new materials were introduced for Light and Shadow play. The children created a honey comb pattern with cut up toilet paper tubes. They have also begun to explore how their own shadows interact with the projected ones.

Building continues to be popular among the children. Large rectangular wooden pieces have been added as well as carpet and fabric squares. New materials will continue to be introduced to foster this interest.


Art is another strong interest among the children. We make art  both in and outside of the classroom. This week the children manipulated play dough using natural materials, made their own books, and drew hurricane together on the chalkboard! The children have also been working on an outdoor mural. Last week the children used permanent markers to draw on a clear, plastic shower curtain. This week they printed on top of their drawings using pinecones and acrylic paint. We will continue to add layers to the mural using different mediums and methods of mark-making.                                                                    

Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us!
