The Letter B
We enjoyed learning and discovering this week!
We worked with rubberband boards, magnets & blocks to help increase our fine motor skills.
We learned a new song during music, "I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee" and then during Arts & Crafts time, we made our very own Bumblebees!
Everyone showed a lot of confidence during Show & Tell & I was impressed with what you and your children came up with that started with the letter B! Great job!
Handwriting & Coloring is an important time to help prepare your children for Kindergarten, but it is not always their favorite activity to do! If your child does not show interest in coloring or writing letters, you do not need to force it, but make it fun! If your child isn't interested in coloring with crayons, a great at home activity, would be to let them color with markers or watercolors at home. This will help encourage them to WANT to color and will help teach them to start controlling their hand movements and is a great way to help prepare for handwriting. If they don't want to practice writing their letters with a pencil, let them practice with chalk on a chalkboard or a marker on a white board! Every child loves variety and we can make their learning enjoyable together!
Our outdoor activity this week included Blowing Bubbles! They loved this and everyone enjoyed blowing bubbles for their friends to POP!
For Science we talked about Bugs and all creepy crawling things! We went on a bug hunt outside and then came in and made our own Bugs using our thumbprints! We put them in our "jars" to take home and I was impressed with their creativity, as they designed their bugs!
We had a wonderful week and are looking forward to what next week will bring:)
