Gardening Fun!

This week’s theme was gardening. In language development, we read various books, talked about gardening tools and things people grow in gardens, used markers on vegetable cutouts, and colored with different shades of green. In cognitive development, we counted and sorted vegetable and fruit counters, wrote in mud, placed ladybug backs on pegs, and placed pompoms in flowerpots. In motor development this week, we used toilet paper rolls to scoop up pompoms, place popsicle sticks in play-doh, manipulated insects, and pushed flowers into strainers. In art this week, we painted flowerpots, painted with pepper, and painted with paint rollers. Tomorrow we will write on clipboards with pencils for language development, manipulate shape sorters for cognitive development, use water in watering cans for motor development, and paint with flowers in art.
