Jj Jets 12/9-13/11

In this blog entry, I will show you what the sandpaper cards look like and the children tracing them as well as the letter tracers, workbook, preschool worksheet, and my attempt to work with a child on his pencil grip.


For some reason, the Tuesday/Thursday class didn't do centers on Thursday (pegs in peg board/puzzles).


Compared to August, the children are getting quicker in their routine.  We now have extra time to freely play with toys.  This is very exciting for the children.  I thought about adding singing songs and music, but that would require more circle time.  I can see them learning while they play together, which is so important for this age group.



Center: scooping rice from one box to the next with spoons







Center: puzzles

Art: bleeding tissue paper on diffusing paper in the shape of leaves.  For some reason the reds turned pink.

Centers: puzzles and pegs in peg board





Circle time chart teaches so much when we sit in a circle.  The children love this!





Art: making a kazoo by painting a toilet paper roll, glue a waxed paper at the end and punching a hole in it.  It sounds like a commercial made kazoo!!

I forgot to add the children playing after they finished everything planned.  There are some great things going on: communication, thinking (cognitive), the use of their hands (fine motor)...
