Letter B = Bugs!!
We spent this week learning about ants! Piper is so intrigued with the insect world that it was not difficult to get her involved with this theme!
The only thing that didn't work to our advantage was the weather! Rain and lots of it! So our ant experiment and ant farm have been postponed for a later, sunnier date!
But we did glue this ant together and learned all about the different ant parts - head, abdomen, thorax, 6 legs and 2 antennae!
Then we made fingerprint ants (and sang "The Ants Go Marching" over and over again!).
Meanwhile, Taitum matched the ant shape cards (also from COAH). I am constantly amazed at her ability to do these activities!
We also built ants (and other creatures) from play doh!
Like this little fellow!
All of our creatures!
Taitum played along with the play doh, too, but when she got bored, I came up with a different, improvised activity for her!
Play doh, craft sticks and foam beads created a wonderful fine motor skill activity to keep this little one occupied for a bit longer!
We began a Tiny Tumblers class this week, too! Its the most fun I've ever had at an exercise class!
Their favorite part, of course, was snack time! ;)
That was our week! Next, we're moving on to bees!
