6 Sticks

Today we read the book 6 Sticks. Afterwards we got creative with our own 6 sticks! Some of us made letters and shapes, others made animals, such as a giraffe! We love being creative! 

Shapes and a Seahorse

Today we worked on our shapes and colors while sticking with our underwater and summer theme of the week! We used tissue paper and shapes to make seahorses! This activity was a lot of fun and allowed us to be very creative! We placed pieces of tissue paper over our shapes (triangle, hexagon, ovals, and circles). We even incorporated the letter J that we worked on yesterday and reviewed all of the "j" words we came up with yesterday. This activity strengthened our fine motor control. creativity, shape recognition, color recognition, and follow direction skills!

Check out our adorable seahorses!

JB Snorkelson- J & B letter sounds

More summer time fun! Today we worked on the letters J and B. We talked about what sound each letter makes and came up with our own summer and beach themed words beginning with J and B. We then made a snorkeling friend (JB Snorkelson) using the letter J as the snorkel and the letter B as the goggles! The activity strengthened our letter sound skills, following directions, and fine motor control.

Patterned Surfboards!

We are continuing our summer theme! Today we made pattern surfboards. We worked on AB and AABB patterns to make our own original surfboards. We also reviewed stripes, solids, and polka dots. We worked on following directions, counting, making patterns, and having fun!
