This week our activities revolved around the zoo…From letters and numbers to crafts and science lessons!
To help us with correct scissor grip, we put smiley face stickers on our thumbs. The goal is to keep our thumbs to the sky, always looking to see that smiley face!
A review of the colors we have learned about this year led to a chart of our favorite colors. We then had a yummy review of colors and sorting using Fruit Loops. After sorting the cereal by color – the reward was a colorful snack!
A review of shapes led to a shape collage. We will laminate these for the toddlers to take home over the summer. Keep in the car or take to restaurants to review shapes while waiting for a table.
During small groups, we matched up foam numbers to the outline. Physically holding the shape of the number sometimes helps with recognition in the future. We also practiced counting every time we placed a number on the line.
We have been focusing on bugs, spiders, insects and creepy crawlers this month. The toddlers have sorted insects by color and shape. We have also read lots of stories, sang songs, and did puppet activities involving bugs. Our class created insect crowns to practice fine motor skills with stickers. We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, then reacted the story using magnets, and made a craft practicing patterns. A sensory bin filled with insects and magnifying glasses have kept our toddlers engaged. We have been buggin’ out this month!
