This month, our theme is “Space.” So Ms. Kate made a name activity for the children using bottle caps and space ship cut outs…to go along with our theme. The children had a lot of fun with this new activity.

This week we are reading “Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me” (By Eric Carle)…So the children had a chance to crawl/”climb” up the ladder to get the moon just like papa does in the story.

This activity promotes one-to-one correspondence and counting. The children rolled the die, counted the dots on the die, then put in the corresponding amount of glass beads into their cup.

This activity was part of our alphabet book. We made “A” is for “Alligator. “The children used their fine motor skills to grip the corks to stamp green circles onto green paper. Later I cut the paper into the shape of an “A.” …still need to add the eyes and teeth! 🙂

ART SHOW 🙂

This week in one of our discovery centers, the children played with water, water beads, and plastic fish! This is an excellent sensory experience for them as they build their fine motor skills

On Friday, we read the story “The Mitten” to go along with our animal theme. The story is about a boy who loses his “snow white mitten.” A variety of winter animals come along and make themselves at home in the mitten. As I read the story, I had pictures of each animal’s face glued on a purple popsicle stick that the children got to stuff in the “mitten.” (I just used a large white sheet as the mitten.) The children loved participating in the story! At the end of the story, the boy finds his very stretched out mitten. We discussed why one mitten was bigger than the other mitten. Definitely a fun group time activity! 🙂
