Chinese Mouse House

Yiwen has been teaching the kids Chinese colors and related vocabulary. Today they began with a game to find which house the mouse was hiding behind. The kids would chant "Mouse, mouse are you in the red house?" Then a child picks up the red house to see if the mouse is there. The Chinese translation is "Laoshu, laoshu are you in the hong se fang zi?"

Everyone is so excited to find the mouse!

Today the children continued their study of hong se with finger painting.

Colored Water Play

Our water play continues and today the children began exploring colored water. They chose to make pink and purple water.

They poured water into the tubs.

Next they added pink tempera paint.

Purple was the next choice.

After coloring the water they began playing with bottles and mixing colors together.

It took some time for the children to mix the water and paint, but the end result was very vibrant colors which the children enjoyed playing in. Tomorrow we'll try some other colors.
