We began today with the story of Zaccheus and the kids really enjoyed the music. We also read some silly books like The Gruffalo and The Dot, both winners!
The kids worked on writing their names, all letters, capital and lower case. Just look at that concentration from Addison and Annabelle. They like writing in pencils, but I noticed that they are a bit more difficult for the kids than a fat marker or crayons.
I filled bags full of hair gel and toothpaste, and the kids practiced tracing the letter S and the number 11 on the bags. Easy tactile lesson and no mess!
I think Eisley wanted to eat the toothpaste!
I read The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds, which is a darling book about being creative. The kids got to use water colors and paint anything they wanted.....I hope for their imaginations to run wild, but all they painted were DOTS! Go figure!
Jack and Noah really enjoy mixing all the colors.
For the Letter S, I made spiders with donuts and pretzels. The kids ate them all up....even the toddlers, of course. I also added some strawberries on the side.
We ended the day with Capital and Lower Case Letter matching. The kids had to match the letters, that I placed all over the room with post its. I didn't take any pictures of that, but they did a great job!
