Some highlights from our week! We made owls and octopuses, played some new games, had fun with sensory bins, and soaked up all the sun we could!
Highlights from our week! Our letter of the week was M, so we made monsters and muffins together. The younger kiddos had fun playing some color and shape matching games that I’ve been working on. We’ve been enjoying the sunshine and exploring the yard looking for bugs and this morning we had a dance party.
This week was busy with our letter of the week and Earth Day… we read lots of FUN books and did some beautiful crafts.
This week our focus was the letter Kk. We read Koala Lou and Does A Kangaroo Have a Mother Too. We learned about koalas, kookaburras and kangaroos! We turned the letter K into mamma kangaroos and joeys, and we sang the Kookaburra song. We played outside and even though today was rainy we made kites that we can fly another time.
This week’s focus was the letter J, and we had fun with it! We made jaguars, jellyfish and jet planes, we did jellyfish math and learned new songs and dances, and we played some new file folder games. We used pony beads and play doh to form letters, and we watched our peas sprout in the garden.
What a fun week! We spent some time in the garden planting peas and talking about spring, we read lots of fun books (it was hard to pick a favorite this week), did colorful Easter crafts, turned ourselves into bunnies and of course had an egg hunt to close out the week!
Another cold, rainy week except for today, so we are definitely looking forward to some sunshine next week! This week we learned about the letter I i and the number 9. We made insects, iguanas, and inchworms; we used playdoh to make insects as well; we colored and painted with dab markers, and we played with ice. Even the little ones got in on the ice drawings with us. We aren’t moving on to letter Jj just yet – next…
Late post! This is our week in review for 3/15-3/19! This week was a doozy! We had our first REAL tornado warning at daycare EVER and so we spent a good chunk of Monday afternoon in the basement. The constant rain and cooler temps kept us cooped up in the house but we survived with LOTS of music and movement, nursery rhymes, blocks, playdoh, kinetic sand and coloring. Our letter of the week was Hh and we read lots of…
We’ve had a couple weeks of sunshine and warmer weather here and were expecting a rainy, cold day today. So, to close out the week we had a PJ day and popcorn party! Story Time and Circle Time were popcorn themed this morning. I created some educational popcorn games and we played with painting popcorn. The 2 year olds LOVED our popcorn color match game! After nap we ate popcorn while watching a movie. The kids picked Big Hero 6….
