    sensory table colored pasta

    This week our sensory table is full of colorful noodles! The kids have been digging their hands in this colorful pasta and scooping and dumping it!  They have been using spoons to scoop the noodles into the bowls and pretend they are making soup!  Since all of the noodles are different colors this has been a great way to practice our color recognition as well!

    This afternoon at group time we learned the letter “N”.  For our art project today we made necklaces for the letter “N”.  Here you can see Rutva, Caroline and Connor working so hard at stringing the beads onto their necklaces.  They did a wonderful job working with those fine motor skills to make beautiful necklaces!

  • N is for Necklace

    Today we learned the letter “N”.  To help reinforce the sound the letter “N” makes, we made Necklaces!  With a lot of concentration, the kids were determined to string the beads onto their necklaces all by themselves!  Their fine motor skills were hard at work during this activity! scissor practice 032
