April showers bring May flowers! Today we made name Umbrellas! We colored our umbrellas while building our fine motor control. Then we wrote a letter of our name on each raindrop. This skill helped us with handwriting, letter sounds, color recognition, and following directions.

Recycled Dragonflies

With Earth Day just around the corner, we continued our bug theme by making recycled dragonflies! This project helped us work on shapes (ovals and circles), as well as important concepts like "first, next,  last", "bigger, smaller", fine motor control, and following directions. 

(someone wrote his entire name today! So proud!)

The Grouchy Ladybug

Welcome Back! Hope you enjoyed your Spring Break!

Today we read The Grouchy Ladybug and had a great time with a couple ladybug activities. First we practiced our numbers by adding the correct number of dots to our lady bugs!

Later we made our own ladybugs! We traced our hands and added our own dots. This activity, as well as the one above helped us build a number of skills such as fine motor control, counting, number recognition, shapes, and following directions!

Butterflies

Yesterday we made caterpillars, today we made beautiful butterflies! We began the first full day of spring walking through snow showers, but it ended with sunshine and butterflies! This task had us working on fine motor control.
