Mushrooms are fungi that easily grow on the forest floor because they don't need sunlight. Some mushrooms are safe to eat, but others are poisonous. There are over a million different types of mushrooms. They grown in many different sizes and are found in dark, damp places. For our make and play art we cut straws and and decorated mushroom caps. We played Mushroom Math, taking turns drawing a card and then planting the mushrooms. You can also put all mushrooms in the ground, pick a number and take out that many mushrooms until none are left.
We have been doing a lot of counting. I am asked daily, "What is 7+9, what is 18+18...." Today the kids chose the two numbers they wanted to add, we used lids to count! We made two separate piles and then counted to add them together. We counted by 5's and I also showed them what it looks like in a 10 frame.
For fine motor we drew the letter J and then made it into a Jaguar! We drew wavy lines or mountains, they chose the type of the line to draw. We used alphabet stickers in our journals and we traced hexagons.
We also built letter Jj, the younger kids practiced cutting while the older kids cut out their puzzle pieces.
We used ink pads and finger to make ants!
