Fall Activities

The children in this classroom have been working on many different fall activities! We have been talking about the fall, what crops grow, and what lives in the garden  to scare away the crows!? 

We all knew scarecrows scare the birds away, so we got right to work making some.....

Some of us drew what we wanted our scare crow to look like and others

 had many different materials they experimented with before they decided what they would actually use to make their scare crow!

They created many different kinds of scarecrows out of many different things!

We used materials like cardboard, hay, strings, fabrics and etc...

Another thing we were talking about were bats! We talked about how bats were black and had wings and came out in the fall!!

We thought with just the right materials we could create our very own BATS!

We used tissue rolls, black tape and some black mesh.

We have also started talking about spiders.  Some of our art is hanging in the classroom. 

Amanda made "A spider eating an ant."

Ryan made "A snake biting a spider."

 Our scarecrows are keeping our garden safe from the birds outside!

Making A Spaceship

For the last few days Ryan has been talking about spaceships and how he would like to go to Chuck-E-Cheese in his spaceship! He started out by first building one out of the big blocks and sticks! All the children hopped in to go for a ride!!

After he created that one, we set out lots of different materials the children could possibly use to make their very own spaceship. We also provided them with a few different pictures of spaceships.

While some of the students put some of the pieces together, the other ones wanted to draw their own and cut it out!

We looked at the pictures to talk about what we saw, we also looked at the shapes on everything..

We used the black pieces for windows all across it...

Some students even made their own mini spaceship and preferred certain colors over others! :-)

We also used the CD's as windows..

After making it, we practiced writing the word, "SPACESHIP"

and this is what the children created!

The tape rolls on the bottom is where the fire comes out from.

The little blue circles are where the people go in from.

The Popsicle stick in the front is the computer board that is used inside the space ship.

The tubes on the side are the tanks.
