Protect the Earth

In preparation of Earth Day, we have been spending some time talking about how we can better take care of the earth. Today we worked on shape identification (heart, circle), mixing colors (blue and yellow make green), fine motor control, and following directions to make our own "Protect the Earth" poster using our hand prints.

Cherry Blossoms

With Mrs. Burns missing her hometown and the Cherry Blossom Festival, we decided to make our own Cherry Blossoms! This activity had us working on letter sounds, counting, concepts such as "top" & "bottom", fine motor control, and following directions.

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!
