Mother Goose Time

I got to teach Justin's Joy School for the second time this year. This month's theme is Ocean Commotion so today we talked about whales and the octopus. We read a book about a giant squid who gets swallowed by an even bigger shark. We made our own whales using paint that we blew through a straw so we could be like whales using their blow spouts. We then cut strips of blue tissue paper to make our whales blow sprouts. We added an eye and we were done. We stopped our work for a while and had a snack of teddy grahams( I forgot our special snack so we will have that on Thursday). We then got down to work on our octopus windsocks. We had to work on following directions and cut 7 straight lines (that is hard work when you are three) we then had to add two eyes and glue it together. We then finished off the day by working hard on some puzzles and reading some more stories about the ocean.
