This last week, the kids pedaled their way through learning as they studied Bike safety! We learned four big safety rules:
1. Always wear a helmet to protect your head
2. Ride on the sidewalk
3. Look out for cars!
4. Always ask an adult if it is okay to ride - and make sure they know where you are going
Fun at Home
We had so much fun at the Trike-a-thon on Saturday! It is easy to recreate some of the ideas at home and work on some gross motor skills!
Create your own race track!
Use chalk and encourage your child to help draw lines and arrows to make a race track for them to ride their bike!
Bike wash!
Spray bottles are a great way to strengthen hand muscles! Encourage your child to spray their bike down with water and wipe it off with a rag.
Refreshment stand!
Learning to pour water is a skill that requires hand-eye coordination. Try giving them a small pitcher or plastic bottle of water and they can pour it into other cups for family and friends! This will definitely get messy the first few times they try - but that is part of the fun!
Watch them ride!
Check out some of the activities we did this week!
We worked on our cutting skills by cutting out bike paths!
The students are really showing improvement with technique and
hand-eye coordination.
Bike sequencing puzzle!
Students had to line up the numbers 1 - 10
to turn their puzzle into bicycle.
Students had to find and stamp the letters K,k, and L,l
Students practiced matching pictures to make bicycle patterns!
We love seeing students take turns with the
computer! Sometimes it is hard to
wait for our turn for toys and games,
but when we share - we all have fun!
Whoa! Ms. Tremmel got sneaky and
hid bumpy letters behind the paper!
When the students rubbed their crayon
across the paper, the letters "popped"
out of the paper!
We painted the number nine! We love opportunities to free-paint.
Group project! All of the students worked together to create a
paper mosaic bike! It turned out really cool!
Can you find the 2 circles and 2 triangles in the bike?
This week we learned how Jesus ascended into
Heaven and one day he will come back again.
I love when the students want to look through
the bible on their own! These three students wanted
to get a closer look of Jesus rising through the
clouds.
See you next week!
