It was great to have kids back in the classroom after a week away! There were some new activities for them to try as well as activities that were familiar. In the sand table kids could use large droppers and watercolor to turn the rice blue. There were rakes to help mix the watercolor into the rice. Some kids flipped the rakes and used them to scoop the rice instead.
We’ve added staplers to the shelf with the different writing materials. Kids stapled individual pieces of paper and also used the staplers to connect pieces of paper.
Familiar shapes turned into new shapes. Soup, pizza and pasta in the kitchen.
Baking with moon sand: cakes, cupcakes and doughnuts.
Kids scooped some ice cream too.
There’s an obstacle course in the gym. Kids practiced balancing and waiting for turns and also got a lot of jumping in.
There’s a new jumping place too. And more crash pads!
There’s a soft cylinder that kids can fit inside. It was very popular, so we made a sign-up sheet to help kids take turns using it.
We have some colorful dots and a die. Kids took turns rolling the die, counting how many dots on the die and then counting out the same number of colorful dots to match the number on the die.
We hope you enjoyed some extra family time during spring break. And we hope you enjoyed a glimpse of kids settling back into the activities and routines of school.
