The Early 3’s know what ingredients you need for a good time! They made waves that they can keep forever in a plastic bottle. All you need it a water bottle with blue food coloring, some cool glitter and a little vegetable oil. Oh, and a good strong arm to shake the bottle and make the waves!
Winter is over…that can only mean its a great time to wash your cars…no matter how big or little! The Early 3’s had a blast getting to wash our toy cars in a giant bucket of soap. This is a great fine motor exercise because we use our tiny hand muscles to squeeze the soap out of the sponges!
You can’t have a fish theme without going fishing! The Early 3’s used fishing poles with suction cups to pick up card board fish! Who got the catch of the day?
We worked fine motor and reviewed our last 4 letters from April with this fun game. The children picked a letter from a bowl and then had to try to find its match on a folded card. This game is a great cognitive game as the children have to try to remember where the letter matches are!
We got out our quilting materials today in honor of the letter Q! We chose pieces of scrap paper to glue over our first initials to make a beautiful handmade quilt. It was fun to find pieces of paper that we thought would look great together.
We have been taking a look at the letter “L”! We decided our senses needed a taste too, so we compared lemons and limes in a taste test. Find out which one your early 3 preferred by checking faces in these pictures…or by just looking at the chart at the end!
We’ve been looking into all things that fly… so why not test out our flying skills! We decorated paper airplanes with paint and them took outside for a spin! Some of the early 3’s even figured out that by getting on top of the slide, they could throw their plane even farther!
We are working toward mastering our names in early 3’s. We have spent the year learning to recognize them. Lately, we are moving past this skill and learning to write and spell them! Learning to recognize, spell, and write your name are important skills associated with early reading!
The Early 3’s worked hard on counting and sorting items this week. They had fun using tweezers to pick up small items and sort them into their correct bins. They also counted and sorted eggs using their fingers.
