There Were No Abstract Paintings in My House
Topic: Book Break

Before today, that is! We did another Book Break today. We read "Olivia", and then discussed what we thought her favorite things might be (the color red because there is lots of red in the book, ballet because her favorite painting at the museum was of ballerinas). But we did find out that Olivia just doesn't "get" abstract paintings. And truthfully, we don't either. We also realized that Bev doesn't have an abstract paintings in her house, and nobody else thought they had any either. So, we made these that will hang in Bev's house for the next week or so, and then they can hang in your houses!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They were made by putting paint on the paper with spoon, and then running a comb through the paint. Of course, there was also a lot of spreading of the paint with the spoon!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Topic: Book Break

Because I didn't exactly get a theme worked out for the week, I decided to do some Book Breaks that I have been wanting to do for awhile. Since "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" seems to be their all-time favorite book, we went with that one yesterday.

While reading it, I never actually said the words "coconut tree", I let them do that. I had made my own little tree for the magnetic board. As I pulled the letter magnets out of a bag one at time, they yelled out which one it was, and we added it to the board. They've been acting out the story on the board since then!

We then each made our own coconut tree craft. First, we had to sort out the foam letter stickers (Dollar Tree find), so that everyone had one of each.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone then colored their coconut tree pattern and added their letters however they wanted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This letter got a bit sticky on the fingers! This will also explains why some of their letters look like they fell out of the coconut tree!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The end results:
