Royalty Week-Crown Creations


Hi Everyone!

We hope everyone enjoyed his or her weekend!  We noticed that yesterday’s email didn’t post, but the pictures did.  So at least you saw something about Monday! 

Today we took a lot of extra time with all of our projects and adventures :)  For the first project, the kiddos were taken over to a small table (outside) in pairs.  We prepared dot markers for the kiddos to use, as they decorated their very own paper crown-as it is Royalty Week!  Many of the kiddos explained that the colorful dots on their paper were jewels and “pretty dots” :)  After taking our very long time with art, we went on a buggy ride to talk about royalty-related subjects.

On our buggy ride we talked about what a king is (i.e. “Is the king a boy or girl”, “What does a king sometimes wear”, etc).  That discussion led us into talking about the crowns we decorated. We talked about what was on a crown-and what was on their crown.  Our students told teachers who they thought wore crowns (including mom, dad and themselves-but not teachers!:)  Just before that long discussion, we saw a man repairing the power lines (we thought)!  The children told us that he was “so high, and should be so careful” :)  Pretty funny to here in person!  A little ways down the road, and a new route as well, we came to a bridge were the kiddos could see the water flowing underneath!  We told the kiddos that sometimes we build bridges over streams, creeks, rivers, and oceans in order to get where we need to go.  They were very interested in our topic!  After a long buggy ride, we were ready to eat and nap!

We marched into our room, taking off our own shoes, and putting them right  into our shoe bin :)  While half of our friends took a potty trip, the other half decorated colorful crowns with glue and glitter to put over that glue!!!  If it dries by this afternoon, we may even be able to wear them outside :)  We will see though :)

We hope everyone is having a great day and driving carefully.  There is a lot of traffic in some areas due to president Obama being in Oregon today!
