Today we sang and the motions to "Seven in a Bed." We read I Am Happy and expressed the emotions in the book. We did a pattern matching activity, swung in the motor room, and explored our sense of touch by feeling gritty bird seed, squishy hair gel, rough and smooth egg cartons, soft cotton pads and stringy mesh. It was a great day!

In the toddler room we read Window's To Color. We peeled stickers off of a starry blanket and stuck them to individual sheets to exercise our fine motor skills and then counted how many stickers each child collected. In the motor room we played chase and tag. We also used our fine motor skills by using tongs to fill and empty bowls of pom poms. We have been doing this to practice our serving skills for meal times. We explored the sensory table with different fabrics and textures. It was a great day! 

Today we sang "I'm a Busy Quilter" and read Owen, a story about a little mouse and his,transitional object or security blanket, the toddlers loved this funny story about Owen. We explored sensory dominoes comparing the likeness and difference of each domino. We counted beads on an abacus. We also played with the parachute. It was a wonderful day!

 

 

It was a great day in the toddler room. We enjoyed dancing and singing "Where The Grass Grows". We read The Twins' Blanket then we made a classroom quilt just like in the twins new blanket in the book. Our color of the week is yellow so we went on a yellow hunt.
