This week was a very special week for the 2B class. We celebrated Week of the Young Child with fun and interesting activities and people, not unlike what we do every day at Buckle My Shoe. Here's a fun recap of what took place (and for additional pictures and videos please see Instagram and our Google Drive):
Monday
For our first day of Week of the Young Child, we enjoyed a salsa lesson and dancing with partners. Our 2B friends loved this activity so much that they were practicing the moves on the salsa feet for the rest of the day!
Tuesday
We made healthy snack “hummus dippers” with cucumber bowls, carrots, and hummus dip. All of our friends had varying opinions about which part they preferred the most, but overall this snack was a huge success! Super fun and easy!
Wednesday
For our third day of Week of the Young Child, we spent our time building and creating together. We made a multimedia painting with blocks, colored glue, and other mixed materials. “We are building on a painting?” asked Jude. “Yes, and we will sell it in the Spring Art Market.” said Debbie.
Thursday
For the fourth day of Week of the Young Child, we did our thrilling art activity indoors. Inside of smashing our watercolor balloons to create a splash painting, we poked them open for a splatter and splash with a fork in our big sink. It was definitely thrilling and a little messy.
Friday
For our final day of Week of the Young Child, we had a very special Special Person day! We planted seeds in special pots that we painted. We gave painted canvas gifts to our special person. Then we played, read stories, and ate snacks with our special people. It was beautiful and memorable.
