this week is all about squares!!!
1. watching the shapes movie by preschool prep!
2. crafting with squares: gluing little squares in a big square
3. puzzle time
we mixed all the pieces up and he had to find the square and put it in its place- and he DID IT...
as he would say...: REID DID IT! ...lol, we talk in third person right now!
4. coloring our square for a soon to make 'shapes book'
no pictures....but...
we 1. decorated SQUARE styrofoam blocks with golf tees, tooth picks, and feathers
2. played with chalk outside by drawing SQUARES and jumping in the and then putting some trucks into each square
3. played with soapy water and had our first experience with sponges (squeezing and soaking)
4. gross motor skills fun: running through the sprinkler (aka: fountain) - ran in 'circles' (even though it was 'square week' the sprinkler is a round ring that squirts water up like a fountain and he was fixate on running in a 'circle' around it...hey, learning is learning!)
I am a mom of 2.5 year old twins and it is so cute to see them get excited when they get something right, plus it is fun to see them know their shapes. My son put two bikes with long handles next to each other and said look mommy a triangle. Just wait your little one will be picking out squares of out of the cereal next ;)
