We had a great time at our farm playdates! Thank you to everyone who came!

May starts our Ocean Habitat study and so we kicked it off this week with a fun exploration day in K-Prep!  We rotated through four different stations focused on sensory exploration, sight word study, art, and some addition practice!

We got to explore in a squishy sensory tub filled with water beads and ocean animals!  We had so much fun playing in this station!

We got to dig through tubs of seashells on a search for sight words!  Once we found them, we wrote them in the correct column based on the number of letters in the word.

For our art activity, we stamped scales onto our fish using celery stalks!

And lastly, to practice our addition skills, we played fishy addition and used goldfish crackers to help us count!
