BYC 2022, week 2, Friday

Charlotte grabbed a couple cute pictures during a silly story this morning.

 

Today our art project choices were

Painting wall pockets

Bracelets with elastic string

Mini books with possible fingerprint art

Multi-media sculptures

Frank clipped himself up so he could dry with the artwork.

After art and snack we took a look at the variety of treasures in our nature centers.  

We also had a bit of fun with singing with instruments and marching in our own parade. 

Special thanks to Tyler who played his trombone!

After practicing our story with the scenery set up, we danced through the songs we learned this week.

I admit, I kind of cheat sometimes and use a French folk song, Les Salut, to dance with the May Pole, which is traditionally English. It's so simple, and circular it works great!

Last, is picnic time! Thank you for coming to our play--

we loved having all of the families here to share it with.

Have a wonderful summer and thank you for coming to Back Yard Club!

BYC 2022, week 2, Thursday

A quick peek into silly sleeping, waking up, and getting ready for school in Sleep Song.

 Today our art choices were

Marble painting

Nature weaving on small looms

Masks

Model Magic wall pockets

After art and snack we painted the scenery for our play and reviewed the story.

And...it's parachute day!

For folk dancing we did some traditional favorites:

Go In and Out the Windows, Floating Down the River, and The Farmer in the Dell.

See you tomorrow!

BYC 2022, week 2, Wednesday

 Today's art choices were

Mono prints

Nature weaving--group project

Popsicle stick puppets

Air dry clay--coil pots or other sculptures

Looking at nature books with some extra time.

After art and snack we had a nature lesson about beavers.  

We learned all about beaver's amazing adaptations by dressing up our friend 

with things a human might use for what the beaver has naturally!  

Let's see...goggles, headphones, a poncho, work gloves, perfume, a chisel, flippers, a nose plug, and a ping pong paddle tail all help describe natural adaptations of the beaver!

We practiced our story and then gathered 'round the May Pole for some dancing with ribbons.

See you all tomorrow!

But first...check out this nature weaving all finished!

Teacher pictures!
