Here’s a look at a few of our school days over the last two weeks. Some things are the same and some things are different! Kids have been trying new activities that we’ve recently introduced as well as enjoying activities that have been available most of the school year.
Car painting! Kids rolled cars, trucks and motorcycles in paint and got to see what happened when they drove them around the paper.
We took the rice out of the sand table, and now it has balls, tongs, buckets and tubes.
We took the sand out of the water table, so now it’s just water again. Plus some fish, nets, shells and bowls.
We have putty in our class for the first time. Kids have used the colorful people and cats in other sensory materials before, but now they’re using them in the putty.
Nets, hockey sticks and pucks are new for our gym time.
Mats and crash pads aren’t new, neither are the big, soft blocks, but kids are using them in new ways. Some kids stacked the blocks to make a movie theater and then sat down to watch Encanto. The mats are stacked higher than they have been on previous days, and kids had fun jumping from new heights.
Our first game to play at school: Color matching with bears. Kids take turns to spin the arrow to see what color bear they will pick and then match to the same color circle on the mat.
