Brown Day

 Today was all about the color brown! We built with brown blocks in the blocks center, made brown art pictures, read fall books with brown stuffies, played with brown toys and cut brown things in a cutting sensory bin! We also had show-and-tell!

Art in the Classroom

 Today we explored different kinds of art in the classroom during free play. We used watercolor paints and white crayons to create our names, created scrapbook paper collages, and used paint sticks to create pictures.

 We also explored creating realistic pictures with sharpies and colored markers. Children chose something they could draw and quickly got to work. Some people drew their friends, some people drew the school, some drew their families and so much more!
