We had another fun, active week in Virtual 3B. Thanks so much for all your help and participation, 3B families! This was a week full of cookie and Easter egg counting games in which the 3B friends helped us to count chocolate chips in Debbie’s cookies and Easter eggs in Debbie’s crafty Easter basket. The 3B friends are continuing to develop their numeral recognition and counting skills the more we practice. We have really noticed a difference in these past couple of weeks. The children get faster at these skills as they become more automatic, which is so fun to watch! We played the clapping, tapping, stomping pattern game, in which the 3B friends were given a pattern to replicate, was more challenging, but still a lot of fun to play. It was our first time, so next time will it should be easier. We’ll play it again soon. Remember, you can play similar games to all these at home if you choose to, as well.
In the afternoons this week we had a blast making marionettes out of easy-to-find household items. Debbie created these from scratch, and they we so much fun to both make, and to watch the 3B friends make also. Another simple activity we participated in was making tornadoes in a jar. These were simple and entertaining to put together. (The supply lists can be found in the weekly blog and in an email each week if want specifics.) In addition to being tiny tornadoes, they can also act as calming jars. Enjoy!
Reminder:
This week, in observance of Passover and Good Friday we will have Thursday and Friday off. Next week, April 13-17, we will meet for Morning Meetings only. There will be no afternoon sessions. We will continue to post activities for you to do at home each weekday, regardless of live meetups. Please continue sharing the activities and projects our 3B friends are engaging in at home. We will share the with the rest of the 3B community. On April 20, we will resume our normal V3B schedule. Have a great long weekend!
