We have been working on many different fall activities! We are spending time on 3 major projects during the day: Costumes, Fall Crops, and Skeletons!
The children haven't wasted any time getting started with their costumes...
We talk about the steps needed to create the costumes: drawing and planning what we will be, measuring our sizes, and creating the costume. This child wanted to decorate his fabric before he measured and cut. He had his classmate help him design and decorate his fabric so once we measure it he will have all the things on their he needs...
Bishop brought in a big pumpkin he got over the weekend! He wanted to paint soccer balls on it since he has really been interested in it and playing it outside everyday with Ms.Jojo :o) He also let his friends join in and help...
"Snow White" was creating just the write colors for her snow white outfit. She made the bottom of the dress yellow, the middle part red and the sleeves blue and red! Next on her list is drawing and creating her crown, where she will count and write how many different colors of jeweled pieces she will need to make it. She drew the crown, drew the colors of jewels she wants, and now we are counting out that number of jewels to make her real crown look just like the picture.
This tiger wanted to make a partial mask that covered his eye area, so he and Ms. Ambreen got to work! She helped him feel where his eyeballs were and drew around it..
One of our children was inspired by Play and Book, "Diary Of A Worm". After seeing the play in Main Street Theater, he wanted a costume like the man wore in the play. Of course he is putting his own spin on it! He wants every color of the rainbow in his costume! So he drew out a very detailed picture of what he would like for it to look like..
Our Purple and White Pumpkin with Soccer Balls!
We are still revisiting our frog project! And since we are experts on the frog anatomy, we wanted to make a "spooky frog skeleton" for the Fall Festival.
We found a picture of a frog skeleton and first drew it in pencil and then began going over it very carefully with white paint..
Back to the worm costume......
Once the plan and picture was finished..he started cut out all his strips for the worm stripes...
We are learning about all of the fall crops. The favorite around here is the PUMPKIN! We love the variety of sizes, shapes and colors of pumpkins. We have started to read books to see how they grow...We started making a pumpkin patch...
We started by making the green vines first..
Than we added our Pumpkins on!!
All of our fall masterpieces will be on display at the Fall Festival. Details about the festival are posted outside of your child's classroom.
Feel free to see the progression of your child's costume, and we would love any input or materials to help with our fall projects!
