Friday’s Field Trip to the Children’s Theater was a blast! From swinging monkeys to a jungle full of singing animals, the Taft Theater’s production of the Jungle Book did NOT disappoint. This is one that will not be forgotten! I can’t wait until next year to see what productions that will have to offer.
Today, the boys and girls had the opportunity to practice their letters and sounds with alphabet cover-up! Honing in more specifically on letter sounds, the children were asked to find and cover-up the /b/, /d/, /y/ and /z/.
As we wrap up our month in the Great Barrier Reef, the boys and girls practiced their ABAB patterning skills with Ms. Lori. The children had the opportunity to choose which fish they wanted to make a pattern with, then they laid out their pattern before sticking them on. What a fun way to practice our patterning skills!
By following the path from top to bottom the children were strengthening small muscles, developing eye hand coordination,
which are prewriting skills and also giving them a sense of accomplishment.
A cow couldn’t really jump over the moon…..however the boys and girls discovered they could!
The children were at it again as we poured and stirred our way into salad dressing! This easy recipe makes a yummy dip for veggies or can be used for salad. Creamy Feta Dressing & Dip (yields 1.5 cups):
–5 oz. feta cheese
-1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
-1/2 cup sour cream
-1/2 cup mayonaise
-2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
-1 teaspoon of chopped, fresh dill (1/4 tsp. dried)
-1 teaspoon dried oregano
-salt and pepper to taste
Mash the feta and milk together until you get the consistency of cottage cheese. Next, add the remaining ingredients and blend well. Let sit, covered, in the refrigerator to blend flavors.
Today the children used “Wikki Stix” and colored electrical tape to help strengthen their fine motor mucles and help with eye- hand coordination. The children were so excited to see another way to build a rocket ship!
