We started this week off by learning all about our fingers and toes!
The kids helped me make a venn-diagram showing all the things they already knew about their fingers and toes. After that we explored them some more by making puppets, trying to pick things up without our fingers and walk without our toes. We also talked about left and right and played Twister! Left and right is a tough concept at this age and comes with lots of repetition. Help your child out with this by referring to their shoes by right and left as they are putting them on and specifying right hand/foot or left hand/foot when you are talking to them!
On Thursday, we moved up to faces and started talking about eyes and ears. We had lots of fun using our eyes and ears to play 'I Spy' and 'Telephone'.
We also learned about the letter A this week. I hope everyone has had a chance to read 'Aachoo Andy' with their child. The kids had so much fun with that!
We talked about circles as well and worked on recognizing them and ordering them from smallest to largest. We also got some fine motor skill practice as we strung the circles onto necklaces.
