We put those little muscles to work in another small group this morning! We have been learning all about the animals in the Sonoran Desert. The preschoolers practiced using control and slow movements while painting hummingbirds. Art is so much fun AND get for that fine motor muscle development.
We have been learning all about the animals and habitat of the Arctic Tundra in Greenland this month. The preschoolers have done a great job listening and retaining all kinds of fun facts. They had some time to explore the icy waters where these animals live today. The preschoolers had a blast pretending to walk along the ice and dipping into the water! This type of imaginative play is a perfect way for little ones to remember facts and information they have learned. Ask your preschooler which animals they explored with on the ice today!
We began our study of Greenland today…we learned that Greenland is an island (and what an island is), that many different kinds of animals live in Greenland even during the cold winter months, and most importantly…THERE ARE NO PENGUINS IN GREENLAND!
The Children’s Museum Center visited our classroom today to share their Coral Reef: A Colorful Community Program on Wheels.
The children learned what coral is, where it lives, what it eats and how it protects itself. We explored different types of real coral skeletons, experienced how a coral polyp feels and viewed pictures of some of the creatures that live in a coral reef. Using beautiful puppets, everyone participated in making a coral reef habitat come to life!
Ms Lori created a wonderful discovery group today using sand play-dough. The play-dough had a cool sandy texture and smelled a bit like the seashore! You can find the Sandy Play-dough Recipe by clicking the first picture below. Have fun creating!
