Learning the Letter "P":
We use Handwriting Without Tears and work with "big lines", "little lines", "big curves", and "small curves" to write letters. We cut out big lines and small curves, and then glued together to practice our letter "P."
"P" is for penguin! (hmmmm....that one must be looking up :))
We LOVE to paint our feet! It's new to me, so I am still working out all the kinks on how to make it look cute. The paint always becomes blurred and it's never as cute as it is online, but it's still ridiculously cute! And it tickles their feet and makes them giggle. If you haven't painted feet yet - do it! I line up 3-5 chairs and they eagerly take their shoes off and wait (and usually more sit around on the floor and wait for their turn). After they dried, I cut them out, colored on an orange beak, and placed them on a cut-out iceberg for room decorations. Super cute!
Are You As Tall as An Emperor Penguin?! We measured our heights (see iceberg on left) and saw just how tall an Emperor Penguin can be (4 ft! 6 inches for a baby!). They got a great kick out of seeing how they measured up (and comparing hand sizes to the Baby Penguin) and comparing their heights with each other once they were all measured on the iceberg.
There were LOTS more activities (seriously, I had to fill a whole week!) but these are some of my favorites (and one's I snapped photos of). More to come!
