Painting Paper Bag Pumpkins!

Yesterday during work time, our art activity was painting paper bag pumpkins. We worked on holding our paint brush correctly and using our other hand to steady our pumpkin. Now we have many pretend pumpkins to add to our pumpkin patch!

What Did We Do at Work Time?

Our free play time in the classroom is called our work time. This is because play is the work of childhood. Play helps us to develop pre-reading and pre-writing skills, math skills, social skills, and a general knowledge of the world around us. During work time today, students in both classes took time to practice their pre-reading and pre-writing skills by choosing to look at a book independently and to color with markers in the writing center!
