Kindergarten, Writing, Week 4

We finished our capital letters this week with A and X.

For Small Muscle Development:

• Tuesday we played with playdoh while listening to a recording of the music from Swan Lake
• Friday I hid 30 small googly eyes in some playdoh and K. had to find them. She really enjoyed this, in fact when there were only 2 missing I was starting to help her and she said, "No, I want to do it!"

For Writing Development:

• Wednesday did the Three Color Road Race. See Games for Writing.
• Draw a "road" on two pieces of paper (the roads should be identical). It can be curvy or angular.
• You and your child pick 3 colors of crayons or colored pencils -- not markers because it takes time to take the cap off and on.
• Say "Go" and see who can "go down the road" with each of their 3 colors first -- staying in the middle of the road and not touching the lines that make the borders of the road.
• We usually do this twice.
