The kids in the morning have started showing some interest in letters! This morning some of the kids chose to engage a little more with some letters by painting. Canvases were prepared ahead of time with masking tape to create each letter. It was up to each child how he wanted to paint the letters. B took to his hands because what's more fun than squishing paint between your fingers?! J decided he was more of a paintbrush kind of guy and gently painted a rainbow of colors onto a letter.
We haven't painted in a long time and it was nice to get back into it! The boys always enjoy a good painting experience and usually turn it into a sensory one too. At the end of the day the boys dove into a box full of magnetic letters where J proudly told us each letter and the occasional number. The other boys watched him as he said the number or letter and put it on the board. Within a few seconds everyone was trying to name letters as they put them on the board. It was a great imitation and peer interactions. Love it!
