The letter of the week was "D." As with all our letters, we practiced recognition, signing, writing, and the sound this letter makes.
We introduced magnetic sets that resemble our wood pieces. The kids had fun practicing making the letter "D" with the magnets. The smiley face reminds us that we always start our letters at the top.
Some dolls found their way into the classroom and this made for some really interesting dramatic play...
More fun with letters...
Fun with numbers...
Water play....
Building with blocks and other things...its always great to see the ways the Robins combine different materials within their creations...
Playing with piggy banks...picking up coins and putting them in the slot gives our hand muscles a workout.
We talked a lot this week about color...
We voted on which color frosting we should have at family night. Purple & turquoise won!
We practiced counting and sorting my color at circle time...
We used pipettes to experiment with mixing watercolors...
Things got really interesting when the children added straws to the mix. the used them to blow the wet paint around the plates and to extend their pipettes.
One morning we made blue & yellow playdough...
In the afternoon we read the book, "Little Blue, Little Yellow" and used our playdough to see what happened when you mix these two colors together.
Afterwards, and throughout the rest of the week, we used the play dough to practice forming letters...
