The preschoolers practiced /p/ today! By scrunching up tissue paper and using a glue stick we strengthened our fine motor muscles.
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!
Now that our preschoolers have mastered how to use scissors it’s time to explore a bit. Today we cut straws to strengthen the muscles in our hands and fingers. Strong fine motor muscles are imperative to build handwriting skills. These muscles serve as a foundation for pencil grip, letter formation, and endurance while coloring and writing. Exposing preschoolers to multiple mediums while cutting is key. Explore using scissors with playdough, noodles, straws, fabric, cardboard, pipe cleaners, anything you can find!
