Week of February 6

This week our shape was SQUARE.

One of our books was the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

For our Art Center we did some stamping. We used liquid water colors and rubber stamps to make squares on our paper.

For a Skill Center we used markers. We filled in the dots to make a square. It was hard work to get the dots inside the circles. It was great hand control practice.

For another Skill Center we colored. We are decorating a shape book. We colored the circle and square pages this week. We are learning the correct way to hold a crayon.

For our Fine Motor Center we practiced stacking square blocks. We made our towers as tall as we could.

We also added faces to our painted circles from last week. We love the personality of all our monsters!

This week we had a special "In House" field trip. Miss Kay, of Kay's Studio of Dance, came to visit. She taught our little ones a dance to go with The Very Hungry Caterpillar book. We got to try out tap shoes and do a choo choo train dance. We did some stretching. We ended with a little hip hop dance. Everyone had a great time.

Next week our shape is HEART.
