Fall fun continued all week in the Bear’s classroom. The children enjoyed discovering about squirrels, pinecones and acorns. We painted several times, but paintbrushes were nowhere to be found! The children experimented by painting with Q-tips, pinecones, and then by mixing fall colors with their own fingers! We learned a new squirrel song. Here are the words:
Gray Squirrel
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel
Shake your bushy tail.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel
Shake your bushy tail.
Wrinkle up your funny nose.
Put a nut between your toes.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel
Shake your bushy tail!
The children began the process of self discovery and self identity. We read the book We Are All Alike, We Are All Different. We discussed how we are all people, but we look different; that we all live somewhere but some live in cities while some live in the country; some live in apartments but some live in houses or trailers; we all live with somebody, but some live with their moms, some live with their dads, and some live with their moms and their dads. We also discussed the fact that we all must eat but like different foods, and that we all play but have a wide variety of interests. This allows children to feel good about who they are, and what they have. We will continue to foster the importance of being your own person, and taking care of yourself.
We were able to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather for most of the week! Have a wonderful weekend. Shabbat Shalom.
