We used blocks, chalkboards, and pictures to explore the letter K and the /k/ sound.
Creating
We created the letter K with our bodies during yoga today. we brainstormed words that start with /k/. Ask your preschooler about our Electric Circle from yoga relaxation today!
This week is all about the letter K. Today we strengthened our fine motor muscles by writing on a vertical surface. We will be writing on chalkboards and letter tracing blocks, practicing our handwriting skills while rainbow writing, and building the letter from blocks. Be sure to watch our letter K videos with your preschooler at home! Play “I Spy” with things that start with the /k/ sound around your house.
All about those fine motor muscles this morning!
The preschoolers had fun finger painting. They explored how to make different colors and experienced their senses by feeling the paint between their fingers and on the paper.
We worked on tracing lines while practiced our crayon grip and strengthening the muscles in our fingers.
How do we hold a crayon?
Changing writing surfaces is a great way to develop fine motor muscles. Through out the week using our Handwriting Without Tears program the preschools write on paper, chalkboards, white dry erase boards, dry erase letter blocks, and the smartboard. Today the preschoolers worked on the letters we have learned so far this year on chalkboards.
In reading groups today we started a new book called Pilgrim, Pilgrim. We explored new vocabulary and practiced writing the words pilgrim, Mayflower, and Thanksgiving.
