Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you FEEL?

Today we learned about our sense of FEEL ... and boy was it a FUN day!!!

We learned about different textures...

...Little Elf helped us learn about our sense of feel too!

Their Santa's turned out so adorable!

We then explored our sense of FEEL and made a mess at the same time!

Ooooo! This felt squishy, gushy, slimy, and oh-so awesome!

It took the kids a minute to really dive into the shaving cream. They had to double check with me that I wasn't making a mistake.... "Are you SURE we can get messy?"

Some of us wrote our  names in the cream....

And some even wrote words from our word wall!!

We then wrote in our journals about one of our favorite things to touch at Christmas Time..... 

What FUN we can have with our 5 senses!!

Write Around the Room

One of our favorite activities in our preschool is to write on the white boards! 

The kiddos have LOVED "Writing Around the Room" time. Having a "print-rich environment" is a key factor to early literacy and it is also the key factor to having a successful "write around the room" experience! 

 This activity gets them up and moving; helps them notice numbers, letters, and words around them; gets them used to checking the word wall for high frequency words; increases letter formation and other writing skills; and it's FUN!
