MWF PM Pre-K kiddos had fun making their name rockets! This is one of my favorite projects that touches on so many things! Of course there is so much fine motor going on, but we also have color recognition and patterns, math skills with having to count the letters in their names, letter recognition with practicing identifying the letters in their names and writing them starting with a capital letter and the rest lowercase! We also worked on language and vocabulary building with learning different space terms and also working on preposition words and spatial awareness when adding our rocket boosters "beneath" or "below" our rockets, adding the astronaut "on top" or "in" the moon, shape recognition with star stickers, circle planets, squares for the body of our rockets, rectangles for the boosters and then we learned that we could take one of our squares, turn it sideways to make a diamond and then cut the diamond in half making 2 triangles so we could add 1 triangle to the top of our rockets! They were amazed that they could have 3 shapes in 1! I just love the simple projects that pack so much learning and so many different skills into it--hands on learning at its best! 🚀🔠
