Today we are doing some learning activities with a Valentine's Day theme!
Cut and paste bible verse-
Number puzzle- count the objects and match to the number. Noah can recognize numbers 1-10 but he can count very far!
He had to peel stickers and place the correct number of stickers on the heart paper to match the number. Peeling tiny stickers is a fine motor activity to strengthen his hands for writing with a pencil! It's also one on one correspondence.
Scissor skills- cutting along a line.
Using a dot market to make the letter H for heart helicopter and C for Cupid.
Lainey and Noah used tweezers to pick up Pom Pom balls and put them in a heart tray. I asked Noah to sort them by color. He sighed and rolled his eyes as if it was too easy. Ha ha! This is also a fine motor activity!
I set up a "writing station" for Connor with Valentine's words for him to make cards.
During lunch time, we talked about what love is and I asked them to describe love. I wrote down their answers as they talked and made this sign to hang up.
Connor is interested in dinosaurs today so I had him write an entry in his science journal. I told him to make it in "list format" with a title, numbers 1-3 like a list, and labels for the pictures. He didn't quite make the list the way I instructed with one on each line but I didn't make him re-do it. :) He'll know for next time!
Playing with dinosaurs under the table.
Our homeschool Valentine's party was a hit with 30+ kids!
