We had a GREAT day today! Lots of fun and excitement! The children were so excited to see that our sensory table had sand and dinosaurs in it! Definitely a treat for them! We painted with golf balls by shaking them inside of a pitcher. Our special snack for the day was popsicles! yum yum YUM! We had fun with BEACH BALLS outside, too! Check out the photos from our day:
Today we started the first day of our SUMMER CAMP! Yay! The children were excited to see that our sandbox has new sand and toys. It was definitely a hit today! They also enjoyed playing at the water table! –Definitely an excellent way to cool off while having fun! Miss Kate introduced the children to our new friend: “Sunny the Summer Camp Dog!” He was a part of whole group read aloud time this morning. The children LOVE him!! We also had a blast painting bubble wrap and printing it on paper! At the easel, children were able to experiment with sticky paper and small pompoms. We enjoyed some tasty muffins for snack time. The children were delighted to sing along and dance with Miss Sarah as she played guitar during music/movement time. Overall, we had a great first day, and we are looking forward to more fun and excitement tomorrow!
This week during small groups the children practiced pouring goldfish from a cup to a bowl. We talked about math, science, and volume. The boys and girls also took turns painting fish as the easel blue (color of the month).
The Toddlers used their fine motor skills to pinch and grab cupcake lines as they added “scales” to their fish!
To further our unit on things that fly, we have been exploring outer space this week! The boys and girls strengthened their fine motor skills as well as hand- eye coordination by pulling and sticking stars on paper. Each child made their very own constellation. Some children wanted lots of stars where others chose just a few! We also finger-painted crescent moons. The children love to move their fingers through the smooth, cold paint.
Last week, the Toddlers learned about the letter L. They used their fine motor skills to pinch and grip the small licorice bites as they placed them on the letter L. They did a great job working in teams of two!
The Toddlers are learning about air transportation this week. The children strengthened their fine motor skills by gripping the stampers and coloring the airplane.
We explored Alaska’s Snowy Owl in PreK today. Then, we worked on strengthening our fine motor muscles as we created our own Snowy Owl by tearing white paper and gluing it into the shape of a Snowy Owl. Click on the picture below to watch the video we viewed during group time about the Snowy Owl.
