This week we celebrated Valentine's Day and began our Friendship unit.
The Pre-K kiddos made Tie-Dye Coffee Filter Hearts! They first colored the coffee filters using washable markers and then sprayed the coffee filters with water using a spray bottle. Once they dried we added heart frames made from construction paper.
The Pre-K kids also created a beautiful Valentines Masterpiece using watercolors and a DIY cardboard roll heart stamp! First, the kiddos used watercolors to paint a brightly colored watercolor abstract. Then, the kiddos used the cardboard roll heart stamp to print red hearts all over the watercolor abstract. I love how the crisp hearts contrast against the brightly painted watercolor paper.
We also made Valentine's Day Mailboxes!
On Valentine's Day we hosted a party for our Reading Buddies. We decorated cookies, made friendship bracelets, and made cards for loved ones!
On Thursday we began our Friendship unit. To begin the day we read the book, "The Best Friends Book" by Todd Parr. We then discussed ways we can be a good friend. Some responses included: giving hugs, giving gifts, being nice to others and sharing. During centers we did a Friendship Color Mixing Experiment! The idea is that red, yellow, and blue are great alone, but when you mix them you create something beautiful. This is how lasting friendships are formed. Two individuals coming together to create something beautiful - FRIENDSHIP. The children worked together and choose colors that they wanted to mix using their hands. We answered the questions:

"What does the paint feel like on your hands?"
"What do you think will happen if you hold hands and mix your colors?"
"How many different colors can you make?"
