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.
Who needs a teacher to create a science experiment when you can find one for yourself on the playground. The Early 3’s discovered that dirt gets wet when you dig deep into the ground. They were super excited to find what creatures dwell in that damp soil.
The Early 3’s got creative decorating eggs last week! They used yarn to paint the eggs! Check out what a cool effect it had on the eggs.
To kick off their “things that fly” unit, the early 3’s read Waiting For Wings by Lois Ehlert. We sequenced the butterfly cycle and then made our own butterflies using scrapbook paper! We practiced our glue stick skills by gluing our own pieces of the butterfly to construction paper.
