Into outer space...

Sharing letter W things from home.

Signing in on a table top easel.
The benefits of writing upright on an
easel (a vertical surface) improves wrist
extension (hand stabilization)
which helps pencil grasp.  

Practicing letter sounds.
I pulled out the lowercase letter. 
We would make the letter sound. 
Then, find the uppercase letter on our sheet.

Last name rockets.

Drawing our friend of the day.
This is about following directions.
Using the shapes, colors, and names given.

Creating their own constellations.
They glued the stars and connected them.

 

Geo-board constellations.
Not only does this develop their pincer grip,
but this activity improves problem solving skills.
It also benefits their pre-math skills.

Fine motor practice.
They are trying to keep the holes
small and controlled to create their names
in the "moon" plate.

Letter sound and letter writing practice.
We went green today and saved some trees
by using table tops.  I would say the sound of the letter
and they would write the letter.  Then, put the sounds together to say the word. 

Planet creations.
They painted, named, and
cut out their planets

The sensory bin was full of bouncy ball
planets, moon rocks and beans.

Learning letter W.

Rolling out the play dough to
form letters.

Singing and acting out how the
earth spins around the sun.

Drawing vibrant galaxies with
with wet chalk.

Writing in their journals.

Build a city on the moon.

Sharing adventures with Mr.Lizard.

....and Mr. Frog.

This friend made a homemade outfit
for Mr. Frog.  Super creative and neat!!

Number rocket.
They had to put the pieces in order
#1-10.
