Shamrocks and Rainbows

We had another fun week in our class! From rainbows to shamrocks to skittle science, it was a fun St. Patrick's Day themed week!

This week's letter was the letter R... R is for rainbows! We enjoyed making rainbows using Fruit Loops, pipe cleaners, and marshmallows as well as with dot markers. We also worked on rainbow color sorting using skittles! See if you can use something else at your house this week to practice color sorting!

We also enjoyed making shamrocks with our hands. We even worked on our fine motor skills by decorating green shamrocks with paper squares. 

This week also included some fun science! See if your child can tell you about our skittle rainbow science experiment or our fizzy shamrocks we made!

We can't wait to see everyone again after spring break!

Ocean Week!

Ocean week was a whale of a good time!

We packed our week with lots of exciting ocean activities. As we learned about the ocean, we had lots of fun creating puffer fish as well as starfish. We even got to use our creativity  when making rainbow fish with dot markers. 

Our letter of the week was letter O ... O is for ocean! See if your child can remember the letter O this week.

We had lots of fun playing, looking at shells and ocean animals in our sensory bin, and listening for the ocean in seashells.

We also continue to work on our counting skills with our octopus counting activity. Make sure to keep working on identifying the numbers 1 through 10.

We look forward to more fun next week!

Puffer fish fun!

Dr. Seuss fun!

We had a great week celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday and reading Dr. Seuss books!

To go along with the book The Cat in the Hat, we worked on patterns using red and white beads as well as using red and white strips to make a fun Cat in the Hat hat! We even had fun stacking and sorting with red and white in our sensory bin. 

We also read the book Oh the Places You'll Go. We had fun talking about the places we will go and decorating beautiful hot air balloons. 

We continued to work on one-to-one correspondence this week using fish! To go with the book One Fish, Two Fish, we practiced counting with fish stamps. We are such a smart group!

In addition to all of our Dr. Seuss fun, we also enjoyed hearing from Dr. Jenkins, our favorite local dentist who came to talk to us about taking care of our teeth (following last week's community helper focus). 

We were pattern experts!

Oh the places we'll go!
