Fine Motor & Cognitive Skills
We created different structures by using little marshmallows and toothpicks. The children maneuvered their finger muscles to make shapes and structures.
Spanish Class
We read our favorite story called "Three Billy Goats Gruff" in Spanish! We learned that a goat in Spanish is “cabra”! The 3A friends took turns and acted out the characters in the story. "Trip Trap Trip Trap, who's that tripping over my bridge!"
Collaborative Building
During circle time, the 3A friends talked about two different type of bridges: suspension bridges and arch bridges. Then we collaborated to build a bridge using cardboard boxes. The children thought about the bridge in their heads and placed their boxes where they wanted. At the end, the children were so happy to see the result!
Cutting Practice
Cutting practice is so beneficial to our children's fine motor (finger) muscles. It not only helps the children enhance their individual muscles on each finger, but it also improves their hand-eye coordination.
