Tuesday was warm for January so Audrey and I took a long walk around the neighborhood. We ran into Patty at Hair on the Hill, then Frank and Dianne coming out of the Grill before we made it to the bank. After the bank we walked to Paula's to drop off a letter and then ran into Sue Z reading a book on her front porch and chatted a while. Then we hiked up the hill past the Playhouse to our neighborhood playground. Although Audrey talked about the slide she would not go down by herself this day. She was tired from walking so much and asked to be carried home.
Having fun at Miss Kelly's Movers and Shakers class on Wednesday. Note the pink mittens.
Once again with the mittens. This time at Culture Kids "Fine Print" class at the art museum this morning. After Miss Elissa read the book
Art by Patrick McDonnell we took the tour with Miss Regina. The tour focused on patterns and textures. Audrey was narrating the experience, repeating "follow Miss Regina" and repeating comments she heard.... including "good to see you" (something she overheard) which made the adults laugh.
I love the art museum's classes. Last night Audrey pulled out the translucent color papers she received at Wee Wednesday last month and showed us that "yellow and blue make green". We are happy that this seems fun for her as well.
A snack was offered after the tour and before the art project. I am so pleased it seems Audrey has finally mastered the juice box (ie. doesn't squeeze the juice and mess with the straw.) And I'm also sure this is a skill I certainly could have encourage her to learn earlier but it wasn't that important to me.
The art project was something called a monoprint. According to the paperwork CAM gave us about ways to integrate art project at home..."a traditional monoprint incorporates painting as well as printmaking and results in one of a kind print transferred from the printing plate, or matrix, to a piece of paper." For today's project however the children used crayons to color a small piece of sandpaper and then Miss Elissa ironed it on to a piece of paper. Below is Audrey's monoprint.
And also her 1st art project to be displayed on the refridgerator. I thought it was interesting that there appear to be 3 houses close together near the top of the print.
Afterwards we went to lunch @ CAM cafe. Fortunately Miss A can entertain herself shaking the sugar packets.
She had mac n cheese. I think she is going through another growth spurt because it is amazing how much she is eatting again.
And it was during this meal she discoverd just how much she loves potato chips.
