Our new playdough is fantastic! The children made pizza and cookies, poked holes and rolled it flat. Playdough is so exciting for young children, and it is so good for their fine motor skills. All the rolling, pinching, squishing and poking are actually building the arm, wrist and finger muscles that are also using in writing, drawing and cutting.
And while we didn't get any pictures, we had a very fun Morning Meeting, featuring a very silly puppet show. Tiger and Giraffe joined Morning Meeting, but were having all kinds of trouble being friends. They both wanted to be friends with Jacob, and sit next to him. And they had to figure out a way to work it out. The Turtles helped them with suggestions, saying that Jacob could be friends with BOTH of them! The Turtles are working on these skills themselves, so it was interesting to hear them advise the puppets about their "friend" situation!
Outside we were also working on motor skills, climbing and jumping, throwing and kicking balls, and playing in the sand box.
