This week the infant-B students…
Explored Glue!
The students were more then happy to experience the wet, sticky material.
As our friends investigated the familiar material, we sang “ If your happy and you know it, clap your hands”!
The students began clapping their sticky hands together- surprised by the sensation it created, as their hands were stuck together and then pulled apart.
Clap, Clap clap!
-Sensory play enhances learning through hands-on activities that stimulate the child's senses. This is a great way for children to explore the world they live in! Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
Recycled paper college!
Before the children began creating their own individual collages, a piece of white canvas paper was secured to their work stations. The students were then given recycled scraps of colored tissue paper, which was placed beside their blank canvas.
Their eyes lite up as they noticed the very popular, very familiar clear glue material in their teachers hands.
As the glue drizzled from above their heads, the infants stretched out their arms to grasp the clear glue.
The texture of wet, sticky glue has always had the ability to create smiles!
Diving right In, the children maneuvered the delicate pieces of paper over their now sticky canvas. Not only did the recycled scraps stick to the canvas, but it also began sticking to their hands. The children waved and shook their hands in the air- attempting to detach themselves from the unpredictable material. With a little help, after the paper was peeled off their hands, they went on to continue creating their tissue paper collage.
Beautiful!
in conclusion, it is a pleasure to announce that the:
Curriculum focus for the school year, will be on the social emotional development of the child.
And
Our school wide area of research will be on paint.
Thank you!
Have a lovely weekend, infant-b families!
