Today, the children used cotton balls to create trees and their fingers to make apples. We read two books about being patient, and afterward, they were encouraged to draw a picture of themselves waiting for something.
They took turns rolling the pocket cube, identifying the letter they rolled, and writing it on the apple paper. If they rolled an apple, they got to roll again! For a creative activity, they used shape links to make designs and built fruit trees using sticks and cardboard rolls.
They sorted #'s 3 and 4 in their fine motor journals.
