This week was “Pancake Week”!

Although only one day is celebrated for pancake day in the UK, we thought we would take advantage and use the theme throughout the week. The children reviewed their phonics, with particular focus on the letter “P” for Pancake, practiced fine motor skills with a variety of tracing, cutting, gluing, and crafts, and played a bunch of kinesthetic learning games to enjoy themselves while practicing gross motor skills.

The week also ended with a fabulous celebration of the end of Winter, and the start of Spring!

Final Note

Spending time with your children at home and asking about their day is not only a great way to bond, but a valuable educational step. Cameras in the class rooms may allow you to see what happens, but a child’s perception is considerably different.

Spend a part of your day conversing with them about what they have done, how they felt, and what they would have liked to do and it may surprise you!
