Circle Time

During circle time, the teacher drew different geometric shapes on an erasable board.  As she erased the shape, the children guessed which one it was.  Another part of this activity was writing a number inside a geometric shape.  The children had to think about the number.  Many articulated the number and shape.  It was a fun, educational and interactive experience for the children. 

Art

Creativity and imagination are in all the children’s unique art pieces. As they develop that are mastering their cognitive, physical and language development. 

The children are creating and painting special art projects!

Creating an art piece using acrylic paint!

Painting with sponges!

The children explored finger paint and shaving cream. It also a great sensory experience!

Some of the children decided to continue exploring by applying paint on their faces!!

Manipulative and Blocks

What are you building with the Bristle Blocks, Leo? "Building a train!"

Who is on the train? “Mom, dad and me going to the beach. Get a crab, turtle, and shells.”

What are you building, Rohan?

"I building Buckle My Shoe!"

Who goes to Bucke My Shoe?

"Mommy and daddy!"

We created an art table with crayons, small pencils, scissors, paper, and small staplers that make heart and circle shapes.

Nathaniel and Leo joined Leo Shaftel at the Block Center. Leo Shaftel articulated, "I made a road!" The all shared the space as they used the cars.

Karate

Karate sessions have been great for the children. They appear to have fun and are interactive with the different materials that the specialist implements in each session. They have confidence as they participate and are focused on the instructions.

These repetitive motions are an integral part between mind and body. I am so happy that the children had the opportunity this year to experience Karate!!!

Spanish

The Spanish Specialist brought in a tasty treat, nacho chips, and guacamole, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican Holiday. 

Cooking with Diane

The children visited classroom 3A during the week. They interacted with the children and engaged with different materials in the classroom. They particularly enjoyed observing Pinky, the pet rabbit.
