We are continuing our Dinosaur theme. Yesterday we got out of the house and went to the Fort Rucker PWOC Kick-Off! The little owlets had fun playing with boys and girls their own age and Mama Owl had a lovely time praising my Savior, listening to the information about the classes offered this semester, and getting to have some grown up conversation with other mamas!
After we got home and ate lunch we did a short circle time, we are counting our days in school and I wanted to make sure we at least got our stick in the bucket so we can get to 100 days! I cut out several shapes and let the Owlets glue them to paper making a dinosaur, they turned out to be very abstract dinos!
Today in circle time we sang a song and went a dino hunt. The activity taught the owlets about positional words, above, in, under, beside, behind, ect. They had fun looking for and finding the dinosaurs and using new words! We used big plastic dinosaurs and brown paint to make dino footprints on white paper. Another way to do the dino footprints would be to add soil to brown paint and encourage the children to paint paper with the mixture then walk a dinosaur through it.
Our literacy activity today was dot markers on a letter H and we read A House for Hermit Crab, then decorated a hermit crab shell cutout. We tried a science activity, I found a picture of a dinosaur skeleton and printed it out. I was a little small so I cut it out and enlarged it on my printer. The owlets put glue on the skeleton (with some help) and then dumped sand all over it. They shook the excess sand off the paper, but all over themselves, the chairs, anything in their path, which is the main reason we did sand outside! When it was done it looked like they had just dug up these dinosaur bones! They were so excited about it and had so much fun with this activity. I love watching them explore, learn, and have fun! It is such a joy to be their Mama Owl...I am truly blessed!!
