u is for Umbrella

Today at one center the children listened to the story It Looked Like Spilt Milk.  They were then given a blue piece of paper to fold in half.  Next they placed white paint in the fold and rubbed the two sides of the paper together.  They then opened up their paper and described what object their cloud looked like.  Some responses included a turtle, an x-ray, and a butterfly. 

 At another center the children drew a picture of themselves.  We have been working hard on this skill for kindergarten.  Our goal is to have the children draw a recognizable picture with 6 or more traits.  After they drew themselves the children cut out an umbrella and glued it above them.  they used ABC stickers to make their last names on the umbrellas.
