We were excited that it was once again time for the Festival of Lights! The kids made white glue and glitter fireworks, popsicle stick fireworks, paper diyas and fancy tissue paper flowers to wear. We all also made rangoli with coloured sand, for good luck.
The kids looked and touched the beadwork on a Sari and danced around wearing bangles.
The kids practiced listening to and following instructions, by threading the type and quantity of beads asked. And of course, after we practiced this, they got to thread any sort of beads onto the string they pleased. They always like to see how many they can fit on before all the beads start sliding off!
Our letters this week were C and O. Magic C bunny made an appearance and playing had some magic tricks up his sleeve…well in his hat. He’s quite the clever magical bunny!
For Word Work Wednesday, the big kids practiced reading “at” words, as well as completing many “at” words by writing the missing letters. They can even read at words with no picture clues!
