Discovering the centers during free choice
We practiced writing our numbers again today in small groups. We then counted out the right number of gumballs to match our number and glued them inside our gumball machine! Tracing numbers aids in our fine motor development and proper pencil grip. It trains our hand to feel comfortable moving in the small movements needed for successful independent writing in the near future! Make sure that if your working with your child at home in writing, that they are using the correct grip. It is easier to train than retrain the brain.
We learned about a special kind of animal that lives in China today…the Panda!
We learned that Pandas are born pink, that they love to climb trees, play and eat bamboo. We also learned that in order to keep keep these panda’s safe we must make sure that their homes are not destroyed.
We read books about the Panda and watched a special video with Ms. Lori with real Pandas!
