We continued with our kitchen and our big builders at our rug center. Normally we'd switch these activities for Friday, but there is still a lot of interest and activity with both ends of the rug so we'll keep playing with them for at least one more day.
At Mrs. Hennessy's center we began working on our March calendar. We painted leprechaun beards, added gold to the pot of gold with our March blessing, and then made sticker pictures while we waited for our friends to finish. We've really improved our fine motor skills--most of us can peel the stickers all by ourselves now!
At Miss Kathleen's center we painted shamrocks and then played Hi-Ho Cherry-O. Not only did we practice counting as we picked our cherries from the trees, but we worked on social skills such as following directions, taking turns, and listening!
After coming in from the playground and enjoying a great healthy snack of cheese sticks and bananas, we dressed up as leprechauns and had our pictures taken for our March placemats. We had some fun being silly! We'll have some retakes on Friday!
