We discussed the variety of sports that people play and pointed out the similarities and differences between the sports. The word Teamwork had been brought to our attention. The class talked about how sports players use teamwork in their games. Teamwork could be applied to our classroom, such as how we work together during clean up time just like players work together to have a successful game. The Purple Room is a team. We have to help each other, respect everyone, look out for one another in order to have a successful day.
Children even brought in shares to help explain the point and importance of sports gear for players.
Soccer games have been a huge hit during our outside play. Rules have even been communicated and established between the children before beginning games.
Besides our exciting exploration of sports, Purple Room has also had activities focused on our letter of the week.
For instance, we made Jell-O for the letter "J" week. We got to try the flavors orange and apple. We even put some fresh peaches in the mix!
We got to celebrate our friends 4th birthday with pizza and juice! What a party!
We were very creative with our classroom toys by discovering new ways to use them. Such as making a comfy chair for our pig friend....
...or creating a drum set using our play kitchen pots and pans.
We even got to enjoy our yummy snacks on a nice sunny day. It was a great way to end a day!
