Diamonds and other things...

Today we are learning about the shape diamonds. The kids are doing a few worksheets with diamonds. There is a baseball diamond and also a sheet where I have the children find diamonds amongst other various shapes. We will also be taking two triangles to make a diamond. The children love the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star which has the line "like a diamond in the sky". I am taking a star in the night sky, in the shape of a diamond, and having the children put it on a craft stick so that when we sing the song, they can hold it up. I will send it home at the end of the week so you can do this at home too! 

We reviewed a few shapes and colors that we've learned over the last several months, but we are focusing on the color blue. Here are a  couple of links to the color blue, including one of the Blue Man Group making music with some "letter J" piping. 



Yesterday the kids made a blue jacket out of some blue letter Js. Did you notice the 4 Js on the jacket? I also sent home the rhyme of Jack and Jill and we will be saying this during circle time this week.
