This week in preschool, we are celebrating Earth Day (today) and then the rest of the week, we are focusing on recycling: what it means to recycle and how to do it! This is a concept very new to preschoolers, so it may be a tough concept for them to understand, but Ana and I are going to attempt to teach them this new and exciting concept!
But most importantly, today we focused on celebrating Earth Day in our classroom, which meant getting to do a fun project! This fun project is called Earth Day Spin Art! I really enjoyed this project for the students because it taught them that there are two things on the Earth: land (green) and water (blue). I liked this project because both the land and water were represented and it made the lesson easy for them to understand! It was so much fun and the students loved it! It was super simple to make and needed hardly any materials at all: green paint, blue paint, paper plates, and white paper! So easy but so cute!!! :)
Check out the pictures below to see the process...and at the last picture is the final project! :)
Put the paint on the bottom of the plate, two to three drops of each color. Flip the plate over onto a sheet of white paper and start spinning with your fingers!
Such a simple project: We kept the plates for the classroom and the sheets of paper
they got to take home to show their parents!
WE LOVE THE EARTH! :)
I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Earth Day and a great Monday! Stay tuned to see what my preschoolers learn about recycling throughout the week!
Until next time, stay safe and thanks for listening! <3
