We practiced writing our numbers again today in small groups. We then counted out the right number of gumballs to match our number and glued them inside our gumball machine! Tracing numbers aids in our fine motor development and proper pencil grip. It trains our hand to feel comfortable moving in the small movements needed for successful independent writing in the near future! Make sure that if your working with your child at home in writing, that they are using the correct grip. It is easier to train than retrain the brain.
Today in small groups, Ms. Lori read the book, Air is All Around You, then we did some experiments with air. In the morning, we placed a small paper towel in the bottom of a tall glass. We turned the glass upside down and placed it slowly into the water. We watched in amazement as the paper towel stayed dry! We learned that a pocket of air protected the paper towel from the water. In the afternoon class we discovered that we can produce air and use it to move things! We tested different objects to see if we could move them with our own air!
We learned about a special kind of animal that lives in China today…the Panda!
We learned that Pandas are born pink, that they love to climb trees, play and eat bamboo. We also learned that in order to keep keep these panda’s safe we must make sure that their homes are not destroyed.
We read books about the Panda and watched a special video with Ms. Lori with real Pandas!
