Working outdoors on fine and gross motor skills with golf tees and tools. Development of motor skills is very important for children at this age to develop. Thanks to a kind donation of golf tees we were able to have some fun at recess while working on these skills.
Making patterns
Building with tools
Tool vocabulary
Hand eye coordination while hammering tees into the dirt
Getting out energy!
While reviewing all that we learned about the community we decided to set up our own bakery and used our motor skills with play dough. Working with tactile substances like play dough is soothing as well.
Community blocks and puppets

Building with Legos is a fun way to practice fine motor skills and to develop math tools like problem solving and spatial reasoning. Dileni built a tower that was taller than she was!

We definitely have a lot of energy these last few weeks! We are trying to come up with exciting activities that help the kids to channel all of the excitement and anticipation for the last day of school, while reviewing some of the material we have learned this year.
