We had a pretty exciting monster filled week over here in Pre-K. After SEVERAL requests to read and re-read the book Go Away Big Green Monster, I decided we better have some monster fun in our classroom!

On Monday we used our monster-filled imaginations to make some pretty awesome puppets! Not only does making puppets strengthen fine motor skills, but playing with puppets is also a fun way to work on speech and language development!

Monster, Monster
Monster, Monster
Here's the Monster poem we did this past week. It was a hit, and helped students develop large motor coordination and body awareness too. I will include the words incase you want to do it at home, I bet your child will show you the actions if you ask!

Monster, Monster
Monster, monster, turn around
Monster, monster, touch the ground
Monster, monster, reach up high
Monster, monster, touch the sky
Monster, monster, touch your nose
Monster, monster, grab your toes
Monster, monster, touch your knees
Monster, monster, sit down please
Monster Painting!

The students had the opportunity this week to fold paper and squish paint in this super simple painting activity. Some of the monsters they made were really cool!

Before we said goodbye to the mountain of wonderful recyclables in our room, we decided to build some box monsters. The imagination in this room never ceases to amaze me! There were some pretty gnarly monsters being created!

Thank you to all of the families who donated boxes and other items for our creating over the past few weeks. If you ever come across a BIG box, please feel free to send it our way! We will never turn down the pure joy that a big box can bring to the classroom.
