This week we used sand trays to draw letters and we used letter stamps. The younger kids are learning the first letter of their name. We also worked on numbers and counting and the letter Ss. They made a seahorse and snake. They are all doing so well using scissors! Very proud of these kiddos and all their great work.

The older kids completed a snowman directed drawing and they are so cute!

The older kids love play dough! They don't know this, but they are developing so many skills while using play dough. When students roll and form play dough, they are developing important fine motor skills that will help them learn to write in the future. This is just one of the many benefits of playing with play dough!

I printed the play dough letter mats from Fun Learning For Kid:

Get ready for next week as we blast off into space! ​5-4-3-2-1

​This week we are learning about arctic animals.  We learned all about polar bears.  They are big and strong and like to eat fresh meat.  They enjoy rolling around in the snow and swimming in the freezing waters!  They have black skin to soak up the sun's rays, a layer of blubber and thick fur to keep warm!  Our art project we cut out a black polar bear to resemble the skin and used cotton balls for the fur.  We also made handprint polar bears!     We also worked on Ww; we made a walrus and whale.
