At centers, we worked on tracing to practice our fine motor skills. We used stencils of different shapes and patterns, and when that got old, we traced our own hands.
The people house was out on the rug for our cooperative play center on Monday. We also added a bat cave and super heroes to this center on Wednesday.
Mrs. Horton did handwriting practice with our corn meal trays in another fine motor center. We practiced lots of letters, and had a few minutes to draw our own creations.
Not surprisingly, we also got to practice our sweeping skills! :)
We did vegetable printing on violet paper in honor of the letter Vv! Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, peppers and yellow squash were all dipped and pressed to make beautiful veggie masterpieces on Monday. We had a great time with this, and didn't mash up our veggies too much, so we printed with them again on Tuesday. We also added various vehicles for Vv and did some track painting!
Tuesday, we played Cariboo in groups on the rug. We pulled a card, and looked for the indicated number of objects or letters on the board. If we found what we were looking for, we opened up the door with the key. Sometimes we found a fish cracker to munch on hiding behind the door!
To continue thinking about Vv, each day this week, we are trying a raw veggie at snack time. Then we vote on whether it tastes great, ok, or pretty bad. After coloring in a box on our bar graph for the day, we also placed our name on the class graph so we could talk at circle time about more, less, how many, etc. So far this week we have tried green peppers, cucumbers and cauliflower. We'll try something new tomorrow!

I like calling it the "people" house instead of the doll house. I might borrow that!
