    Using Fine Motor Boxes in Preschool

    While we all know fine motor skills are important, but do your little learners have enough opportunities to practice them? I knew during play that most all of my centers have fine motor practice available. But, I also found that some of my students weren't using the fine motor activities that were incorporated into the centers. Time to "think outside the box"! Actually, time to think inside of the boxes! Literally! This little set of boxes and the activities that I created to fill them have helped my students with fine motor skills and I hope they will help yours too! Stay tuned!

    Bringing Literacy Into Your Fall Unit

    Have you tried bringing a Literacy Unit into your Fall Thematic Unit? It’s what I have been doing for the past several years and I love it! Many times when we have a thematic unit around fall or autumn we focus on reading themed books.  The books might revolve around apples, pumpkins, leaves, and fall in general. We also bring that thematic flair to the art center or we bring autumn into our sensory tub. We may add pumpkins to the science center and create a pumpkin patch in our dramatic play area! We plan our lessons with the theme in mind too, but when it came to literacy, I felt like something was missing and wanted to go deeper than just reading the story. Tune in to find out how I add literacy to our fall unit! Topics Discussed: What literacy elements I add inWhy I think adding literacy is importantHow I add literacy to our thematic units Resources Mentioned: Fall Literacy Unit Related Episodes or Blogposts: Bringing Literacy Into Your Fall Unit - Lovely Commotion Preschool Resources Connect with Ashley Follow on Instagram @lovelycommotionJoin the Lovely Preschool Teachers Facebook Group More About the Lovely Preschool Teachers Podcast Are you a busy preschool teacher who loves gaining new ideas, perspectives, and inspiration for your classroom?
