Wrapping Up Our Dr. Seuss Unit

Today, the Young Toddler Classroom wrapped up a one-week unit on Dr. Seuss.

Each day during Circle Time, we read a different Dr. Seuss book.

We made pretend green eggs using vanilla yogurt, green food coloring and vanilla cookies, as well as a popular Dr. Seuss soup! Each student took a turn adding snack ingredients to the soup and practiced stirring with wood spoons.

We decorated a variety of Dr. Seuss coloring pages using dot paint, crayons and Dr. Seuss stickers... We also made fish, as described in Dr. Seuss' books: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!

On Monday, we will begin a two-week unit on Purim!

Wrapping Up Our Transportation Unit

Last week, the Young Toddler room finished up a two-week unit on Transportation.

The Young Toddlers created air plane wings out of construction paper and yarn, which they decorated with crayons, dot paint and stickers. The Young Toddlers pretended to be air planes; they flew around the classroom to music and a bubble machine.

The Young Toddlers also created a road out of black construction paper, glue and foam cut outs of cars, trucks, buses and planes.

The Young Toddlers also pretended to float boats in the water table.
