Sorting and Counting Lucky Charms Marshmallows
Eating the Colors of the Rainbow! We ate every color of the rainbow during snack time…even if we thought we “didn’t like it,” everyone tried one bite of each color. Many of us learned that we like some new fruits today…AND never to be afraid of trying something new! You may love it and be missing out!
We practiced some of our Kindergarten skills as we listened and followed directions during our writing activity in Pre-K. Following multi-step directions in a classroom setting is a critical skill for young ones to develop to become successful in the classroom. This was a CHALLENGE today, but with our continued practice, we are surely to become pros!
We focused on independent letter formation and orientation during our sight word study today. What an amazing job they did! I’m so very proud of their hard work and perseverance. They are on their way to becoming independent writers ready for Kindergarten.
We learned about constellations during group time today and found them on the smartboard in the night sky. Then, we used our developing fine motor skills to carefully poke holes along our sight words with a small toothpick to create our own constellation.
We started our week with sorting our sight words from last week and our new ones for this week! This activity not only focused on sight word recognition, but required the ability to follow multi step directions, sorting, and fine motor skills for cutting, pasting and manipulating the small pieces of paper.
We have been working hard to continue to build our fine motor muscles to help us on our way to becoming strong writers! Simple wrist exercises for kids can improve your child’s fine motor skills and have a positive effect on handwriting. Wrist strengthening activities are easy to do at home with children from preschool through early elementary.
Click on the picture below for website with a variety of simple activities to do at home. No special supplies needed!
The exercises and activities are to improve your child’s wrist extension and wrist stability.
Wrist extension means that the wrist is bent slightly upwards, which leads to better control of the finger muscles.
