Learning Stations (Mar 05 - 09)

Theme continues to be Fairy Tales, with focus on Princess and The Pea. I am fascinated at how the children looked when I read the story to them, mesmerized and jaws dropped! It showed me the power of fairy tales in keeping the mystery and imagination alive in our little ones.

Literacy Station

We continue with our journey to learn about all the letters. Now, we are at the letter 'Ll'.

Math Station

Work focuses on practicing their number writing from 11 - 15.

Afterwhich, they play the game I invented Princess and the Pea.

Rules In the Game

1. Whoever throws the higher number in the dice plays first.
2. Each player takes a turn to roll the dice. The number on the dice will tell how many ‘matresses’ (represented by the foam sheets) the children can put on their bed. 3. After all the foam sheets are gone, they will count the number of mattresses that they had gotten.
4. The winner is the one with the most mattresses and he/she gets a chip and the chance to place the princess and a pillow on his/her bed. This will be three rounds.

A big thank you to Lindsay, Ryan's Mom, for lending me the Princess and the Pea game. I didn't need to practice my extraordinary sewing skills to make a princess doll. Thank goodness!

Science Station

As a review, the children will work on their sheets to review about magnets. Children will put a circle around items that are magnetic and an 'X' on non-magnetic items.

Afterwhich, they play the game Fishing For Numbers, an application of how fun magnets can be!

Art Station

The children have to use construction paper, a googly eye and even ordinary paper along with a glue stick and scissors to make their own Princess and the Pea Art. A different section on the blog will show the scanned pictures of their wonderful art work!
