We have been busy exploring materials in our classroom that use our fine motor motor (hand) muscles. All of these activities will help us as we learn and practice writing our names.
We made shape pictures using pattern block stickers. Stickers can be so tricky to get off!
We made rocket ships and houses by combining shapes. We added details to shapes with crayons to make things like the sun below.
Lacing is a great quiet fine motor activity. We have been working on these animal lacing shapes when we wake up from naps. Look at all that great lacing!
More stickers! Except this time, students matched colors and numbers to work on fine motor skills and recognizing the numbers 1-4.
Painting! Always a favorite. In this activity we created our first intial on paper using painters tape and then painted over it in our favorite colors. When the paint was dry we peeled off the tape to reveal "magic letters."
We made necklaces using letter beads. (They were so proud of the finished result!) But first we had to find our letters and match them to our name tags.
As part of our morning meeting every day we practice tracing our name, and our friends names too.
