This last week of January blasted us with a blizzard so it was a
short week for our Creative Kids!
Table top activities include practicing pre-writing and scissor
skills as well as working on matching and visual discrimination while
completing puzzles.
At circle, we reviewed name and letter recognition as well as the
calendar, observed the weather, counted our friends and read the
following books: My P Book (Jane Belk Moncure), Five Little
Penguins Slipping on the Ice (Steve Metzger) and Cuddly Dudley
(Jez Alborough). Dudley doesn't like to be cuddled and prefers to
play alone. But his sisters and brothers just can't resist cuddling
him because he's so darn cute! We went on a penguin hunt searching
for Dudley as our friends gave us clues (under, behind, in, on) and
gave him a big cuddle
once we found him.
We also learned all about penguins and watched a Scholastic video
about different types of penguins. Ask me if penguins fly. Music and
movement activities included Penguin Play and songs.
Center time included dramatic play in the kitchen, cars and trucks,
and snow fun in our sensory bin. In our art center, we made penguins
out of the letter P, painted a melted snowman picture, and also
painted penguins.
Our new friend, Jacob joined us this week. He will come to school on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We're very
excited to welcome him to Creative Kids Center!
Another busy (although short) week and another month gone by!
It's been “snow” much fun!
Sheri, Miranda, Fabi & Bethany
