Welcome to a new week in the Pine room! This week we are focusing on the core words: put, in, on, and a good question word, where. We will be reading "Put Me In the Zoo" that features these words in all different contexts throughout the week.
This morning, the boys had lots of choices to practice those different words through a variety of activities. One in particular was to create bird feeders! The boys have shown interest in animals and taking care of other living things so we thought the bird feeders would be a great idea! To get some inspiration we watched some this live bird feeder camera to see which birds came to visit and what they were eating.
Wow was this activity great for some OT skills! We didn't have any bird seed so we figured cheerios on a pipe cleaner would do the trick. This was a tough activity! Not only did the boys have to resist the urge to eat the cheerios, they also needed to use their small fingers to put the round cereal onto a pipe cleaner! Whew, that was some hard work, but J demonstrated his skills and practiced over and over until he was successful.
