I See A Rainbow (4 Hour Class)

For the past couple of weeks, the children have been participating in what we call “Color of the Day”. One color is assigned to each day and they look for things around their environment that match the color. When an object is found we take a picture of it for documentation. The children were quite excited when they found an object that matches the color of the day. Here are some of the things that they found:
RED

 

ORANGE
 
 
 
 
YELLOW
 
 
GREEN
 
 BLUE
 
 
 PURPLE
 
 
When we were done with all the colors, the colors of the rainbow were brought to the art table. The children were provided with red, orange, yellow, green and purple paint. They painted with some old gift cards. The gift cards were used to spread paint on the paper.

 

Georgia was very careful in following the order of the colors of the rainbow.


Nathan only used his favorite colors in making his own rainbow.
 
 
Adonis mixed a lot of colors on one gift card so he could make a rainbow with one swipe of the gift card on his paper.
 
 
Sofia made sure that the colors of her rainbow did not overlap with each other.
 


 
Here are some of our finished “rainbow” paintings.
 
Come check out our bulletin board outside our classroom to see more pictures and paintings.
 
Until next time,
Patricia

Mosaic Garden Stones

Today our children had an amazing opportunity to work with Glen Anderson, a local artist specializing in mosaics. You can see his work at http://www.mosaicplanet.net . I met Glen last year at Urban Weavers Studio in Strathcona. I asked him many, many questions about mosaics, all of which he patiently answered with expertise. I was gearing up for an art project in our preschool class so I really wanted to get any pointers I could from him. The plan was to have our students make mosaic tiles to place along our fence at the garden plot at Terra Nova Farm. They worked out very well, thanks to Glen's great advice and it was a beautiful moment when child and parent hung the stones at the farm on our last day of school. It was a moment of great pride for all of us. The garden that they cared for with their own hands- tended to its needs in sunshine and in rain. They will always remain part of that space, that land and their stone will remind them of this connection. Even though they turne...

3 Year Old Class - Westham Island Herb Farm Field Trip

Our threes class recently visited the Pumpkin Patch at Westham Island Herb Farm in Delta. After a relatively short and scenic drive through Ladner en-route to the farm, we crossed a small, one-lane bridge that remarkably has been in place since 1911.    Westham Island Bridge We arrived at the farm in the early morning, before the school buses appeared. It was a very peaceful time of the day, and the morning mist floating over the fields only enhanced the feeling. Westham Island Herb Farm is a community oriented farm that promotes buying fruits and vegetables from local sources. This farm is part of the Ellis family farm and they have been in this location since 1916! Upon arrival at the farm, we were greeted by a beautiful display of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes. Prior to the tour of the farm, we visited the general store, which showcased a large variety of homemade jellies and honey selections such as wild flower, raspberry, pumpkin and ...
