fine motor skills and manipulating different objects


Dear Families.

We would like to welcome Alma and her family to our Peach Room family.


This week we were working on fine motor skills and manipulating different objects. We had a few stations for each friend to visit if they chose to go there.   
 
We explored  manipulative boxes fastened with all sorts of locks. Our friends had to use their fine motor skills to open up each different box. Inside, they found a fun surprise! The boxes were filled with cylinder pieces that they could take in and out. This took a lot of patience!

Our friends worked on the puzzles in our classroom as well. There were animal puzzles, transportation puzzles and shapes puzzles for them to explore. We needed to problem solve and find the matching pieces of puzzle. There was a lot of team work going on inside the Peach Room during this task!

We returned many times to drawing with markers and paint dots this week. When we paint, scrabble, or draw we are learning:

To develop our imagination.
Fine motor skills to hold the brush or marker.
The names of colors and how to make new ones.
To identify and create different shapes.
To express our feelings and our ideas.
About symmetry and balance.


Shabbat Shalom 
Morah Ora, & Morah Rivky.
