Gabriela and Laina had a great day today! They started by completing 3 worksheets to practice their writing skills and letter recognition. They wrote about their idea of St. Patrick's Day in their journals to strengthen their emergent writing skills.
Gabi and Laina did a great job finding and circling the letters on our hello board this morning! They also helped me read the board by sounding the words out. They did fantastically sounding out each word!
The girls finger painted shamrocks to work on their fine motor control and sensory integration as finger painting is a fantastic part of brain development for later spatial, math and language concepts. They also mixed blue and yellow paint together to make green.
We had 2 stories today. The first was "Ten Little Ladybugs" (as requested by Laina). This book not only fortified their listening, understanding, speaking and relating skills, but also worked on their number recognition.
For gross motor development, we read the interactive book, "Kiss Kiss" where the girls had to act out what the main character in the book was doing. Then we did "Bear Hunt" to really get those muscles moving.
The girls enjoyed strengthening their observation skills during our science exploration today. They used pincers to pick up shells and rocks from our science center and looked at them through magnifying glasses to take a closer look. We talked about how the items were the same and how they were different.
Gabriela and Laina used play dough to explore their creativity. Laina made a butterfly cupcake and Gabriela made a beautiful heart.
Both girls love working on the computer! Their favorite thing to do so far, is the ABC activity.
We ended the day with a domino matching game to work on their 1-1 correspondence.
Great day! Looking forward to tomorrow!
