The early 3’s are really working hard to recognize their numbers…today they named the number and then counted out many beads matched the number in the cup. They got in a fine motor work out when they picked up the small beads with their pincher fingers. This is an easy and fun game to make with your child and do at home!
We talked about our sense of smell today in the Early 3’s. We used our noses to smell different candles and then graphed which ones were our favorite. When we were done we counted how many people liked each scent and which scent was the class favorite.
We are working on number recognition with the numbers 1-5 in the Early 3’s this week! Our Early 3’s had a blast rolling the dice and calling out the number that it landed on!
Throughout the month, the Toddlers have been learning all about their senses. Today we focused on touch. The boys and girls molded and manipulated playdoh while strengthening their fine motor skills. We also worked on sorting today. We practiced placing soft and hard balls into the correct container. The children did a great job determining where the objects belong.
Our Art Center this month is a beading center. This is a fun way to work on the tiny muscles in your preschooler’s fingers. The children have enjoyed making bracelets for themselves, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, and friends in class.
This month on our light table we have tiny colored lights for our preschoolers to practice their sorting skills. Choosing which bowl the light goes in is great practice for developing math sorting skills. Picking up the tiny lights is a wonderful way for the preschoolers to strengthen their fine motor muscles.
Thank you to Morgan’s mom, Mrs. Dickinson, for joining us with fun holiday stories on Thursday!
This week is all about the letter K. Today we strengthened our fine motor muscles by writing on a vertical surface. We will be writing on chalkboards and letter tracing blocks, practicing our handwriting skills while rainbow writing, and building the letter from blocks. Be sure to watch our letter K videos with your preschooler at home! Play “I Spy” with things that start with the /k/ sound around your house.
The preschoolers practiced scissor grip and cutting skills this morning with candy canes!
