So far this week we have focused on everything insects. We have played with all kinds of insects in our sensory tub, we've swatted them for sight word practice and we've made coffee filter watercolor butterflies for art. A few other activities we have done are have and indoor "snowball fight". For this activity we used coffee filters for letter practice by having the kids tell the name and sound of the letters I had written on the filters. If they got it right they could ball it up throw it in the snow bucket. When we were all done making the snowballs we dumped them out and had a really fun time throwing them at each other! Lots of laughter and smiles on this one! I also let the kids make Chinese New Year lantern's for cutting practice during our Brainy basket time in the morning. This ended up being much more popular than I had anticipated! Some of the kids made four a day! They were cranking them out like crazy and I had to copy many more to keep them satisfied! What happiness it brings me to have the kids love learning so much!
