Science Week: 1

I love teaching Science! The dual language program in my district requires that we teach Science in Spanish which makes things extra exciting in the beginning. Kids are learning rules, routines, letters, new subjects, and a new language! Whew!

I love this activity for the beginning of the year. I use these fine motor mats when introducing Science Tools. Here's what our week looks like while we are exploring Science tools:

M:   Lupa (magnifying glass)
T:    Gafas (goggles)
W:   Gotero (droppers)
Th:  Balanza (balance)
F:    Pinzas (tweezers)-Fine Motor Mats

The kiddos LOVE using the tweezers! (It's a perfect Friday activity, if you know what I mean.)




After we have explored them during Science, I put them in a center for the remainder of the month. It's a great activity for keeping those little fingers busy!


You can find these mats in my TPT store here:
