We made spilt milk in preschool

 

The book titled “It Looked Like Spilt Milk” by Charles G. Shaw has always been one of my favorite books to share in preschool. Today, the children read the book then we made spilt milk pictures…

In one of our classes, the children used a bottle filled with white paint to make their pictures. The children simply squirted the paint onto the paper. I think the paint had been watered down a bit…

This proved to be a good exercise in learning how to control the flow of the liquid…

Some of the children did really well at controlling the flow of the paint and others ended up with puddles!

In another class, the children spooned their paint on the paper instead of squeezing it out of a bottle…

The paint used for this approach was a mix of glue and paint poured into a small cup…

Some children used their spoons to drip the paint strategically around their paper…

And others preferred to make a puddle of milk…

Both approaches offered great opportunities for exploring and managing the painting process…

Here is a simple song that I made up to go with this book…

The cloud up in the sky

Has a shape I recognize

It looks like a (bear) up in the air

Slowly drifting by!

Change the word bear to other shapes!

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
