{Whole Group}
Today we continued our exploration of the rainbow by making our own water bottle rainbow. I had 6 bottles of water on a table. I asked the children to look at the picture of the rainbow in front of the table to tell me which color comes first. They would tell me, then I would put the corresponding color of food coloring into the bottle. The children were VERY interested and engaged in the activity!
{Name Activity}
This is our new name activity that the children do when they first come to class. They have to use their fine motor and matching skills to match up each bottle cap with a letter on it to the corresponding letter on the rainbow.
{small group #1}
In this group we practiced our writing skills by learning to hold a pencil and write letters. We worked on a variety of letters while using our fine motor skills.
{small group #2}
In this group, we practiced our number recognition for numbers 7-10. The children had to identify the number on the top of their pipe cleaner, then string the corresponding amount of beads onto their pipe cleaner. –another good fine motor activity.
{small group #3}
This group was our art group where we made handprint leprechauns! Check out the cute results!!
