Week of February 21

Our shape this week was Triangle.

 

We read the book Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party by Kimberly and James Dean. We played a little game finding things that start with the letter P sound and putting them on a pizza. A pizza slice is a TRIANGLE.

For our Art Center we made TRIANGLE pizza slices.

For a Play Center we made felt pizzas with all kinds of fun toppings.

For a Sensory Center we played with Playdoh. We rolled the playdoh out like a pizza dough using rolling pins.

For a Skill Center we played with TRIANGLE Magnatiles. 

 

Week of February 14

 This week was all about HEARTS and Valentine's Day!

Our shape this week was HEART.

We read the book Porcupine Valentine by Aaron Zenz.

For our Valentine Party we made a snack mix. All out friends took turns pouring in an ingredient and giving the mix a stir. Mini marshmallows were a big hit.

For our Art Center we made strawberries. We used a red heart and painted white fingerprint seeds. Then we added green hearts for the leaves.

For a Fine Motor Writing Center we traced the first letter of our name with dry erase markers.

We had fun passing out our Valentine treats for our friends!

For a Science Center we learned a little about tornados. We enjoyed watching a tornado in a bottle.

For a Fine Motor Center we practiced stretching pony ohs around a container. This was not easy work and took a lot of hand strength and dexterity. You can use everyday things to challenge your little one's fine motor skills.

For a Sensory Center we played in black beans and rice with valentine colored items.

We took advantage of a warm day to get out and chase some bubbles.

While we like getting outside, we can still have fun inside.
