Today we danced with rhythm sticks to a steady beat, moving to the beat.  We problem solved with a road sign shape puzzles. We made contact paper stoplights, matching the color of our torn construction paper to the color of the lights. We read Trucks and Tractors. We did a listening and responding activity with red light stop, yellow light slow and green light go! This was a great gross motor activity. We had a wonderful day!

 

We had so much fun doing sorting transportation by land, water, or sky.  We sang "The Wheels on the Bus." Everyone enjoyed singing and doing the hand motions along with song. We read Roger The Race Car and raced around the motor room. We also worked with shape recognition with car shape sorter. We also explored the Little People car wash and pushed their cars, helicopters, and buses around the room. We had such an awesome day! 

Today, we made a blue collage to add to our colorful border! We did a truck loading activity counting the number of blocks we loaded into the back of a truck. Some of these littles counted up to 14! We painted with trucks again by the request of some of our little friends. We explored our wooden trucks and trains pegs, which are similar to lacing beads and had fun taking turns with our boat and ball activity. We also went on the swing in the motor room. It was a great day! 

 This week we are learning about Transportation! We danced to Toddler Radio with shaky eggs and singing along. We read Things That Go and then did an activity called "Does It Roll?" We made estimation and then tested out different objects to see which roll down the ramp and which would not. We extended the activity by adding sand paper to ramp and then tested the items again. We also painted with cars by rolling them through the paint making tire tracks. We also welcomed a new friend today! We are always happy to make new friends!

Today we explored the sensory table full of beans. We made music with our rhythm sticks and then read Snow Bear. We used our cognitive skills taking apart and putting pegs on the peg board. We did "seal painting" with socks on our hand with green and brown paint. We are making a family tree to have in our classroom to display pictures of our toddler families for them to see during the day. Be prepared to get your picture taken for our tree within the next week or so! 

Today we are learning about penguins. We read Penguins, Penguins Everywhere and did the "Penguin Pokey". We painted with shaving cream mixed with water colors. We worked on our fine motor with lacing beads. We made stories and songs with the our song basket and made a yellow collage. We also swung on the hammock. We had a great day!
