With the anticipation of when our royal ball will be held, we are keeping ourselves busy preparing for this fun event. Children have been asking almost everyday, "Is the ball today?" We have been asking them to be patient since our friends have a big list in mind for the ball prep and we are working towards it gradually. Following is their list when we brainstormed about the entire event...
It's hard to add another item, right? They probably thought about everything!!!! :) :)
With this list in mind we set off to do our first step...
Making wands, shields, and swords...
We began by cutting stars on double sided adhesive foam...
And then put on our choices of ribbons and other shiny accessories...
Other friends were busy making shields, choosing the foil for a metallic look and
decorating the shield...
Wrapping the swords with foil..
Decorating them...M made a fire sword...
L as Captain America...
With the ongoing royal ball talk and thoughts, our friends wanted to build a royal carriage. The boys really wanted to make the horses and ride the carriage.
We cut a horse out of cardboard and...
...later they used it as a stencil to trace the other one for cutting out!
Later friends painted the horses and wheels of the carriage...
Last week we were also inspired by the impressionist artist Monet and his "Lily pads".
We first created a bridge out of paper tape...
Then used bold colors to swirl the paint over them...
The next day we peeled the tape....
And we're so proud of our unique art!
During the week we also enjoyed celebrating the Indian festival of Holi, which is also known as the Festival of Colors. Thank you to R's family in Blue Room and Teacher Richa who helped make this event so successful. Also thank you to Teacher Jennifer for ordering the necessary supplies even though it was off season. It wouldn't be possible without the entire Creative Minds team who put in every effort to make sure that children have their best of experiences.
R's parents talking about the festival and showing children the bold bright colors that we were going to play with....
Coloring each other and spreading our love and affection!
Squirting targets...
The colorful girl...
Color, color everywhere...
It is amazing how little moments pile up into a heap of happiness and memories we will cherish forever!!!
Keep seeing you'll around.
Hugs,
Teacher Rashida
