Thanks for stopping by our Thursday!
Meet Ely's mat man...Ely...
We investigated our tubes more today...which tube does the car race down the fastest???
Or...a little hide and seek...where is the car?
Some planning and working together to build a wall of cups!
To finish morning meeting, I brought with me 7 different items from around the classroom! We discussed each item and then "locked" each one in our brain. Then I covered all 7 items with a towel and took 2 items away. I did this several times, removing 2 different items each time. Our job was to recall which items were missing! The ability to recognize and recall is an early cognitive skill.
Today we sang a song, teaching us that we always start our letters at the top, not the bottom or middle, but the TOP! We then practiced forming the letters A - G with our finger on the carpet...
Outside we went for large motor time...
Time for small groups (centers)!
Each friend drew a self portrait! They used a picture of themselves to help remember what they looked like! While each friend drew they also improved symbolic development, early writing/drawing, fine motor control, and knowledge of self!
Each friend colored his/her very own rainbow to take home! This way he/she can always have that rainbow to remind him/her that God keeps his promises!!!
This will be our last week of rice in the sensory table, so we took a little time to explore some more before it is packed away!
Oh boy...time to get MESSY!!! We practiced writing the letters A - G in shaving cream with one finger! This is much easier than trying to manipulate a pencil while writing. It allows our friends to practice forming letters correctly without having to worry about holding a pencil and applying proper pressure!
Some exercise on the parking lot playground!
During Jesus Time we remembered that God is oh so good! He made the world we live in, all of us and our friends, and sent Jesus to die on the cross to forgive us our sins!
Join us again tomorrow!
