Pre-Writing Practice with Car Tracks!

Children practiced following pre-writing lines using toy cars. They drove along wavy, curly, and zig-zag paths, helping them develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, and early writing readiness skills.

The kids had so much fun “driving” while learning!

Shape Matching Activity

The children practiced their matching and fine motor skills with a fun shape activity. They were given cut-out shapes and matched them to the shapes shown on their papers. The kids focused carefully as they placed each shape in the correct spot, helping build recognition, coordination, and confidence.

Collaborative Drawing

The children were doing a collaborative art with a twist, drawing under the table. This not only worked on hand strength for pre-writing skills. This had new opportunities for conversations with a different view point of drawing and coloring. This promoted social skills and conversation between the children. They were mentioning it felt different laying down and drawing upwards.

Movement

We are exploring new types of movement with the scarfs. This is exciting for the children and really gets them moving. They love to see how the scarfs flow with the different paces they move. Using the scarfs it helps them see the rhythm and notice the beat in the music.

Open-ended art

Our student led an open-ended art activity that the children loved. Having a variety of materials for them to choose from allowed them to explore and create their own piece of art. Some loved to use the sponges, while others were curious of how the paint felt on their hands. They explored color mixing and creating new colors.
