Even with our short week last week, we learned about how special we are with our "All About Me" unit. This a great way to show children diversity and why we are all so unique. We had a sensory science center learning about the five senses. Most every one did not like the slime at our touch center!
We made skeletons to learn about our bones and even did a life size skeleton puzzle!
We continue to do writing exercises and math at our hands on learning centers. Remember, samples of writing are being put in your child's journal and they may not bring writing home. We have wipe off tablets that the children work on during every class.
Our writing curriculum also uses wood pieces to make the letters. We are learning to start at the top of the letters and go down. You'll find the great handout in your parent packet for working on this at home. Encourage your child to hold the pencil correctly to avoid a new habit forming. Fat markers are great for beginners!
Even holding a paintbrush correctly can help your child gain fine motor strength.
