The children continued to learn about the body last week as we focused on the legs and eyes. We began talking about the 5 senses and how we use our senses to gather information. The kids used touch to try to discover a mystery object (a sock) and used words to describe it. We played body bingo and sang songs and read books about the body. They created a puppet, matched circles and made circle pictures, and learned a few Spanish words (ojo & zapatos). They searched for a word objects in a rice sensory bucket. All the monthly themes were continued in every activity (colors pink & brown, numbers 1 & 2, letters a-d, shape of circle, the amazing body and senses).
With the older children we focused on the proper formation of the letter a. They wrote the letter, searched for it, and brainstormed words that start with a. We are really working on strengthening their hand muscles to facilitate writing so we spend time drawing, writing, and cutting. As the year moves along, they should be able to write more and more!
Hope you enjoyed the darkness last Thursday, my boys and I sure did!
