Table Time:
Our gathering activities at table time today were SHAPE DESIGNS, PEG BOARDS & RUBBER BAND BOARDS
Outdoor Activity:
We dug for DINOSAUR BONES in the baby pool outside. They loved carefully digging, so they wouldn't break any bones:) and were very excited to take home their dinosaur skeletons!
Circle Time:
Calendar is an important part of circle time. We are learning the names of the months and days of the week.

I read aloud Danny & the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff
Language and Literature:
We enjoyed personal reading time today on the rug. We looked for words that started with the letter D. Looking at pictures in books helps children familiarize themselves with the beginning, middle and end of a story. You can look at the pictures in a book and try to figure out the storyline.
***Try asking your children what they think is happening in a story by just looking at the pictures and have them TELL YOU the bedtime story, instead of you reading it to them:)
Sensory Activity:
Breaking our dinosaur fossils out of blocks of ice! They LOVED this activity:) Everyone got a turn smashing the ice with a hammer and chiseling away at the ice with a screwdriver. They were so excited when they broke their dinosaur free!
Arts and Crafts:
We made DALMATION DOGS with the letter D! We colored spots on our dogs and glued their ears, nose and collars where they belonged.
