It's Day 3 of Princess Camp complete with Teddy Bears and a Tea Party. We pretended to make cupcakes and tea using finger rhymes and chants. (Remember - Rhymers make better readers!) We danced with our Teddy Bears and the bears helped us sing the hello song.
We included ball exploration today with a focus on language development (labeling) and fine motor skills/eye-hand coordination/spatial orientation.
While pretending to travel to our tea party with a variety of locomotor movements, we practiced inhibitory control by stopping and starting. "We're going to a tea party, going to a tea party, going to a tea party, a tea party at the castle." Try singing this song at home with an "Aaaand Stop!" at the end for more inhibitory control practice.
We explored using spoons as instruments, just like the people in the Appalachian mountains. Between the ball play, spoon play-along, and locomotor movement - we provided your child with several opportunities to work on steady beat development.
Our tea party gave us an opportunity to practice our manners, too! Hope that plays out at home with you this week. Let me know if your child uses the word "dainty" because we used it several times today to describe a princess.
During craft time we made tissue paper flowers and colored a tea party invitation. It was fun for all. Enjoy the pictures!!
Tomorrow is all about princesses and their ponies. We're looking forward to Day 4, our last day together!
Special thanks to Miss Carrie, Miss Lisa, and Miss Karen for being our assistant teachers during camp this week.
