Autumn Leaves - 4 Year Old Class

The children enjoyed using watercolours on starched felt. The outline of various leaves were drawn with permanent marker, preventing the outline from running. The water colours however, seeped and absorbed into each other, giving the leaves the look of beautiful Autumn colours.

 




 
Charlie – The water is turning coca cola colour.
The leaves are changing because the temperature is different.

Taylor – The leaves are changing colour because it's Fall and they fall down.
 
 
 
 
Jean – I like the cold day, but not in my nose. 
 

Isabelle – The leaves bring cold.
Diego – The sponge feels good.
Arianna – There's green, orange, yellow, red and there's brown, then it will fall down.
 

Happy Autumn!!

What can they understand about their world? How can we teach them about being socially responsible to: ones self; ones family; ones community; ones province; ones country; ones worl...

On Monday, we became adopted parents of a dwarf frog. It was given to us by an alumni parent whose daughter no longer wanted it and I suppose she thought I was a vulnerable victim (clearly she was right!) and I said "Yes, we would love it,". Well, there is truth in that because the children already love this little creature. The Junior OSC children made Do Not Touch signs posted near the mini aquarium and our preschoolers made the frog pictures today and wanted to shower him/her with gifts. On Monday I asked them to go home and think about a name for the frog and bring their suggestion back to class on Wednesday. So, this morning we compiled our potential name list, with the understanding that we would be voting on the name. The name suggestions were as follows: Cynna: Badgie Colin: Jack Brooke: Flower Kayla: Froggie Luca: Penguin ( NOT Penguino) Alexa: Flower Bryn: Froggie Cole: Froggie Emily: Ella Zev: Spot Chloe: Eric Cash: Benji Wayne: Jackie The big vote ...
