This week was all about keeping our teeth clean and healthy. Many of us knew that we brush our teeth twice a day and that if we don’t our teeth will be yucky. We learned what cavities are and how to prevent them. The kids tried flossing themselves. The faces they made were just too funny!
The kids worked on their fine motor skills, counting and number recognition when they used tiny “clippers” (as they call them) to pick up mini marshmallows and put the correct number of them into numbers muffin tins. Everyone is really doing a great job at identifying numbers! There has been a lot of improvement over that past few months.
We all practiced their cutting skills by cutting out “sugar bugs” and then they decorated them with glitter glue, sequins and googly eyes. They also threaded yarn through paper teeth, painted with toothbrushes, and made teeth picture patterns.
The kids played a “roll and cover” number identification games where the numbers were written on the teeth and they had to colour the numbered teeth that corresponding their dice roll.
Our week was spent inside. That never happens! We spent our extra time indoors listening to Raffi, prepping and cooking food while learning safe ways to do so, and dancing to some fun action songs.
During our Morning Meeting this week we started singing out Days of the Week song so we can start to figure out what each day is called. The kids also continue to work hard on writing their names.
We continued to learn about 2D shapes this week. In their journals, the kids counted how many sides certain shapes had and although the younger ones were not expected to practice writing the number they wanted to anyway. They want to be just like the big kids!
Some other things we did this week were baking muffins, Lego building and having some creative fun with play dough.
