We learned about our under the sea friends this week! And, what a better way to start than by reading about The Rainbow Fish?! We even made our own rainbow fish too.
We talked about some of the different textures of the sea. We had some bumpy starfish, grainy sand, hard seashells, smooth pearls, and......
some squishy sea animals. For this sensory center, the kids chose a flashcard from the table, and tried to find the animal in our mystery box by feeling with only their hands.
One of our math centers was pearl counting. We put the same number of pearls in the clam as it said on its top.
And, we fished for numbers as well.
AND, we practiced counting too. We picked a number, and counted out that many fish to add to our sea.
For a fine motor activity, we used our skills to make our own necklaces. They were stylin with seashells, pearls, starfish, and beads!
We matched our uppercase to lowercase letters with these fishy friends.
and we practiced forming our straight lined letters with these colorful craft sticks.
And just for fun....
We also played this silly octopus game. The idea is to catch the crabs without tickling the octopus as he wildly flails his legs and spins round and round.
