F-F-F-FLYING!
This week students worked on the letter F. There were many activities but the favorite hands down was the flying swing! Students took turns waiting patiently and reading their names off of a list to participate. Once safety rules were discussed, students were harnessed in and flying! Many skills were learned and reinforced from this activity. For starters, students used their bodies and large motor skills to move the swing. This took practice of coordination and core body strength. Focusing on their upper body and self control, students maneuvered in different positions, practicing above, beside, next to, behind and over objects. This connects to the math concept of spatial relationships. When swinging students also discovered speed, motion, gravity and cause and effect. These science concepts are always fun to learn about, but we all agree that learning with our bodies is the best way!
Fun is just a consequence of attending Hand-On-4-Kids preschool!
