We finished up our first week with Mother Goose Time's safari theme by learning about safari safety. Elli made foot print impressions in play dough using the safari animal counters.
We used the safari cards from earlier in the week and an animal spinner to decide which animals would herd together for protection.
Elli used binoculars, a magnifying glass and kaleidoscope to look at the animal cards up close.
Elli made her own binoculars. She was so happy to have her own, just like her big sisters set.
I hung the safari cards around the house and Elli used her binoculars to look for the animals on a safari hunt. I would call out an animal and she would run around trying to find it.
Elli worked on the oval page of her my little journal. Her tracing is getting better every month.
When Addie came home from school the girls played wild animal chase. They took turns spinning the spinner, and if it landed on the lion they got to chase the other "animal." There was a blanket where the girls could herd together for protection from the lion. They thought this game was great.
We talked about how it's important to stay on the path when you're going on a safari. It's safer for you and the animals. The girls practiced kicking a ball on the letter S path without hitting any cups. So far they've been having so much fun with this months theme. Next week we start learning about safari animals.
