On the beach

We made islands,

meatballs

and had a teaparty
 CHEERS!




On the beach

We found a little river running along the beach and when we stepped in it we said, "Our feet are sinking!"

Then we started digging . . . 

and we found 2 little creatures :-)




Long Bay Beach playground

The playground was such fun! Some of us got to the very top of the climbing pyramid . . .

and we used the Pinehill Way to remember the toddlers who we were sharing the playground with.

Parts of a book

We have been learning the names for the parts of a book: the cover, page,spine, title, words, letters, front, back, top and bottom. Wow, so much to learn . . . but SO exciting!!!




Buddy reading

This is a special time in Room 19 when we show a buddy how well we can read our book from the day before.




Fine Motor book

We are learning to go from right to left in our Fine Motor book to help us with our reading and writing. This is a good chance for our little finger muscles to show us how strong they are.

We make a rainbow pathway!!

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!!
