Throughout the year we have been working on our shapes, along with our fine motor skills. Today, the children celebrated spring on this beautiful day by cutting out shapes that had spring pictures on them, and then strung them onto yarn. The children loved creating their very own spring necklaces!
Our new letters this month are A, G and S. G can be very tricky to write, and the short /A/ can be difficult to remember. Using our multisensory approach, the children “built” each letter using our build a word materials, and then transferred that skill onto the chalk board while practicing our writing on our own.
We did coin rubbings today to discover the differences between the heads and tails of like coins. Ask your child which coin worked the best!
We reviewed our numbers to 20 today and put them sequential order by creating a elephant number train. The kids did a GREAT job! Keep practicing numbers 11-20 at home!
We cut out small and large circles today to create our own African Lion! It is important for children to be able to successfully use scissors before Kindergarten. It is not only an independent skill that is used frequently in classrooms, but it is also a precursor to writing. Strong Fingers=Strong Writers!
