Looking Back…
*This week was all about ocean animals. We took a few virtual field trips to different aquariums. We read lots of books about sea creatures that begin with all the letters of the alphabet. The x-ray fish was our favorite! Our Friday drawing was, of course, our favorite ocean animals. Counting fish and comparing them was a big part of our math centers. Ocean creature bingo was the best part of this week! We used fish for our markers and got to eat them all up when we were done!
*Alphabet dot painting, upper and lower case, really showed how much our fine motor skills have improved. We have been dot painting all year and it is so incredible to see the growth. Creating our own ABC Bingo cards, using stickers, was another fine motor experience. The best part…we are going to use them to play in our literacy centers for the rest of the year!
*This past week gave us the opportunity to review many of the skills we learned this year in Preschool. Review will continue for the next two weeks. It sure has been a busy year! We have really been “kissing our brains” a lot this week.
*Another birthday was celebrated this week. Thanks, Henry, for the yummy cupcakes you shared with us!
