This morning there were many different animals in the touch and feel pool. The kids had to be the vet and give them a check-up. We looked in their mouth, listened to their heart and used band-aids to fix the cuts and scraps.
This morning we talked about the weather last night. It was very cold and some of us saw snow! The kids were very excited to share their own stories about the weather.
Ms. Abby came today and since it was so cold we work both inside and outside. We first rotated through centers. The kids practiced catching a scarf in the air, throwing a ball at the target, and throwing bean bags in a hoop. Then we headed outside to shoot some baskets.
Our story today was "Sally Goes to the Vet" by Stephen Huneck. In the story Sally was playing with her friend Bingo the cat. She wasn't paying attention and ran into the tree. Her owners took her to see the vet at the animal hospital. She looked in her eyes, ears and mouth. The vet listened to her breath and her heart beat. Then the vet took x-rays to make sure she didn't break any bones. At the end of her visit the vet told her to be careful, rest and take her medicine. After reading the story we compared and contrasted people doctors and vets. They do many of the same things!
For art today we made a fishbowl with a pet goldfish. First the kids used sponges to make the water inside the fishbowl. This was very important because fish need water to live. Then we glued stones on the bottom so the fish could hide. The kids used their hands to make a goldfish inside the fishbowl. Then they added an eye to their fish. They turned out fantastic!
During lunch the kids talked about pets they have at home. If they didn't have a pet they talked about animals they like.
