Last week we learned that Koala Bears aren't really bears at all...they are Marsupials. Marsupials have a pouch to carry their babies. Everyone loved learning the new word and saying it over and over. We went over some other animals that are Marsupials as well, like the Kangaroo. On Friday, we made a special treat that Kangaroo's would like. We decided we liked them too!
A didgeridoo is a musical instrument that was developed in Northern Australia many, many years ago. They are made out of the hollow trunk of a tree and decorated with paint. We made our own special version of the Didgeridoo with the colors of paint that we liked the best! All these things we have been doing are really helping to strengthen our fine motor skills. It takes a lot of muscles to have control and hold crayons and paint brushes the correct way. We can already see a difference in the whole class just in the short time we have been at school! Keep practicing at home by following the guidelines on the sheets that went home in the book bags!
