By request, we have started learning a little bit about bugs, even though the outdoors is covered in snow. We brainstormed all kinds of bugs we could think of. We have learned the difference between the leg count of an arachnid vs an insect. Some of us were surprised to learn that spiders are not insects. Very neat!
The kids started an Eric Carle themed project, where they explore mark making with varying tools. So far they have used cotton balls on clothespins, string, cups and chopsticks. We'll have to see what tools we can come up with next week!
What a fun outdoor week it has been! We are so lucky to have the nature we have right in our backyard. So much fun was had crazy carpeting, climbing, slipping and sliding on ice, trudging through snow, and experiencing what different types of snow are good for.
Our letters this week were P and B. We played a game where we did actions that start with the letter we are learning ie: Pick plenty play people or poke pink pointy pencils. We also love coming up with sentences comprised of words that stat with the same letter. We definitely get some good giggles out of this activity!
And of course we cannot forget to wish a Happy Birthday to a very special little person! We had fun celebrating and eating mini pies with you!
