Strawberry exploration! 

The strawberry exploration start on Tuesdday after hearing the children talk about strawberries often last week. We started with reading some strawberry facts and exploring  stawberrry with a magnifying glass  and then we tasted it.

After we moved to centers and painting with strawberries, traced a strawberry with the overhead and made strawberry pizza.

Today we continue to explore strawberries. We went on a strawberry hunt around the school to find strawberries. The strawberries had the children’s name on them and we read the letters on each strawberry. The children then picked their strawberry when they found it.

After the hunt we went back to the classroom to read The Little  Mouse and the Big Red Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear and had different picture that went along with the book. Then after some children went over to the projector and acted out the book again.

The other children made jam with strawberries. We will eat the jam at snack time.

Here is a youtube link to the story  Little  Mouse and the Big Red Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear!
