This week, we took a trip to the park, color mixed with our bodies, and made yogurt parfaits.
Specialists
Spanish - we talked about different feelings and played a matching game.
Cooking - we made banana and coconut milk smoothies.
Soccer - we played a game where the children were asked to run around on the colored dots, then freeze on a dot when Coach C counted down from 5.
Music - we sang the books, “An Octopus Followed Me Home” and “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.”
Gross Motor
We enjoyed the warm weather on Monday with a trip to Washington Square Park. The children enjoyed playing in the sand, climbing on the jungle gym, sliding, and running. We can’t wait for the warmer weather!
Art/Sensory
This week, we read the book Mouse Paint. The children were inspired to recreate the story! They dipped their feet in paint and used their bodies to color mix. They were so excited to slip, slide, and mix to create purple, green, and orange. This sensory activity gave them the opportunity to use their bodies to explore the paint and create new colors.
Cooking
On Friday, we made parfaits. The children took turns exploring the different ingredients - yogurt, granola, raspberries, and blackberries. Then, they used spoons to layer each ingredient into a cup. As they tasted their creations, the children noticed several observations: “cold,” “crunchy,” and “soft.” This cooking activity is great for engaging fine motor muscles, making observations, and engaging in dialogue with each other.
