Widget Fun!

By Miss Kerri Ann
Daniel and Peter spent a lot of time playing with our widget set this morning.  Widgets are great because they teach classification skills (color and size), math skills (number of pieces) and cognitive skills.  We have widget cards with pictures that the boys were trying to recreate.  On the back of these cards it lists how many of each piece that is needed.  Watch this clip of the boys and their widgets:

That's not all we did today!  Outside, we harvested some of our garden to send home with a few families.  If you don't get vegetables this week, don't worry.  We will have squash to send home next week!  We will make sure you all get to enjoy our harvest.  Here are a few cute pictures of some other activites today: 

This is a picture of the "worm bed" that Daniel and Jada made in our garden today.  They had a pile of worms to put down for a nap!
