The children arrived this morning to find all new centers to check out. Some of the biggest hits were the magnetic worms in the apple, the sensory tub, and moving mini apples into muffin tins using grabbers. The grabbers mimic scissor movement and the children really enjoyed them. By isolating the open/close action we are still practicing the necessary skills for cutting success.
Before each book we read we examine the parts of the book with this simple little song...
Front cover,
Back cover,
Spine of the book,
The illustrator draws the pictures,
and the author writes the words.
