Happy New Year! We are starting the new year under the sea. This week we are learning all about the ocean and comparing land animals with water animals. The science table has an aquarium to explore, and the sensory table has kinetic sand to build sandcastles. The playdough center we have fish and seaweed. At the writing center during play time there are simple dot-to-dot sheets and ocean, and beach cut and paste sheets. The dramatic play area is also set up with beach items; life jackets, floaties, towels, sunglasses, and fishing poles. The activity center is set up with letter matching fish, number fishing, counting the goldfish, and sorting the land and water animals.
Monday- At the writing center we drew bubbles, seaweed and rocks under the ocean. For our large motor activity, we played musical chairs with the older preschoolers.
Tuesday- We had our phonics lesson and for our STEM activity we put ocean animals in gelatin.
Wednesday- At the writing center we glued on goldfish to make the letter Pp. We also made rainbow fish with bubble wrap and paint.
