For our third week in France, we took a trip to the LOUVRE and explored art. This week also had a special art project that the kids did at the end. It was a great week! Here are the plans.
Sing Welcome Song (Come on everybody and clap your hands . . . stomp your feet . . . jump up high . . . swing your arms . . . spin around . . . sit right down . . . on the way to Passport Pals. ) Watch me spin the globe . . .
Spin globe . . . Remember where we are this month? We are in France! Who can tell me where France is? What continent is it on? Find France on map/globe/continent.
Suitcase — paints, paintbrushes, picture of Mona Lisa, scissors, chicken? Shaker? Frog?
Today we are going to talk about ART, but first, let’s take another tour of Paris — this time with Mr. Chicken!
Our next story is about another artist and a frog! Can you leap like a frog? (practice leaping). What does a frog say? (ribbit) Let’s see if we can find the frog in this story!
For this week, I had a special art project that the kids did out in the main part of the library at the tables. I had pictures of famous art works that the kids used watercolor paints to paint. They really enjoyed this project.
