We worked a lot on our fine motor skills this week. Everyone was very excited to have a turn using scissors!! We cut rainbow strips and glued our cuttings into our fine motor journals.
We’ve also been focusing on our names. Most of the Ladybugs recognize their written names, but learning to spell it and identifying the individual letters is the next level skill we will be learning. We used those fine motor skills to find letter beads to lace our names. We also used pincer fingers (helping to strengthen our grasp for future writing) to pick up gems & mini erasers to build the letters in our names.
The easel has been a VERY popular center. This week we used paint brushes to make original paintings mixing blue and yellow paint to make green. We finished off our Senses unit with sound bingo, headphones for listening to audio books and instruments in our science center.
Next week we will explore a unit on apples. Pack your child’s favorite type of apple (or apple product) in their snacks!
Don’t forget to sign up for a conference, if you haven’t already.
