On Tuesday we talked about which animals we might find in the ocean and which animals we might find on land. The children each had a turn to pick an animal out of a bag and then decide where it needed to live. In the "blue ocean" or the "green grass."
Then the kids had a chance to do it on their own with pictures of animals. They picked out some animals and then glued them either on the grass side or the ocean side of their paper.
We also played a number game with pom-poms. The kids took turns rolling the dice and then counting out that many pom-poms and placing them on the corresponding number.
On Wednesday we learned all about Dolphins! We learned that they are very friendly, they love to jump and they can't breath under water. We watched a short video of dolphins playing and jumping, the kids loved watching this.
We had fun doing some more painting on Thursday. We learned about Octopus's and each child made a hand-print octopus to take home. We also reviewed the letters that we have learned so far. A B C D
We played another counting game, this time with an octopus. The kids took turns pulling an arm out of a bag. After counting the circles on the arm, they had to find that number on the octopus.
Next week we will learn about some more ocean animals.
