Little finger muscle activities

Here are some more activities that we do to help our 'tweety fingers" get strong and clever for writing:

We thread tiny beads onto fishing line,

we pick up buttons with tweezers,

we hammer little nails into shapes to make a picture and . . .

we squeeze and roll and cut play dough too. 

We are having fun while we are making our finger muscles stronger!!

Pegboards

We make pictures on pegboards. This is fun and helps our little fingers to get strong and clever so that we can cut and write easily.

Scaredy squirrel's forest

Aarush made Scaredy squirrel's forest on a pegboard. Can you see scaredy squirrel up in his nut tree?

He also added all the things that scaredy squirrel was scared of like sharks, killer bees and germs. 

We are not going to be scared of anything as we learn this year! Learning will be fun and exciting but never scarey!

Scaredy squirrel

We are so excited to be in Room 19 this year! We read a book about scaredy squirrel who was too scared to leave his nut tree. 

When he was brave enough to JUMP down from the tree, he suddenly found that he could FLY! 

Yes, he was a flying squirrel and he didn't even know it! 😃

We are going to be brave in our learning this year and just TRY when we are learning new things! Then we will FLY in our learning and scaredy squirrel will be proud of us!

Imaginative enclosures

We had such fun today using our imaginations to create some amazing enclosures. . .

What lucky dinosaurs and ponies they are!!

Rainbow flowers!

We did another experiment to show how plants suck up water.  We started with white flowers and see what happened . . .

They sucked up the colour of the dye in their container! 😀 Did you notice the little flower on our beanstalk in background? I wonder when we will get beans?

Shadows

We watched Mason's shadow today. Look how it changed.

It became shorter and moved to the side. It disappeared yesterday when there were lots of clouds!!
