The kids worked really hard on a number of different skills to make their hand print oceans for you. They worked on their cutting and tracing skills, the number 8, while we talked about the octopus, and we reviewed the number 3 when the kids added 3 pieces of coral to their ocean scene. As you can see they turned out AWESOME!
We also talked about circles and triangles. Then the kids worked on their tracing skills by tracing both a circle and a triangle to make a fish swimming in the ocean. The kids are doing a GREAT job tracing, it really is a difficult skill and it takes A LOT of fine motor control for the kids to master this skill.
We also had some fun with tape while we made a jellyfish! The kids did a great job cutting the streamers and taping them on all by themselves. The kids are becoming very independent and doing most of the crafts all themselves. It is truly amazing how far they have come in just a few short months.
And of course the kids love free play. This week we had the art easel open to make an octopus, blue rice with sea creatures, and puzzles open. The kids do such a great job playing together and sharing, I am so very proud of them. What a GREAT group of kids. I am truly blessed.
Have a great Spring Break and I will see you all in 2 weeks.
