The preschoolers used those listening ears to see how well they could follow directions this morning. We practiced letter recognition, letter sounds, crayon grip, and fine motor skills while we were at it!

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 explored the theme of birds. During small groups, the children took turns matching shapes on eggs. They used their fine motor skills to put the eggs together and pull them apart. They also painted ovals (our shape of the month) with feathers!
The preschoolers matched colors and shapes while strengthening their fine motor muscles today. Building strong fine motor skills helps develop the handwriting process.
The shape of the month is diamond. This week the Toddlers colored kites with crayons and markers.
The Toddlers decorated the walls with colorful flowers. The boys and girls chose which color flower they wanted to make and added five petals. During this activity we worked on color recognition and counting to 5.
