This week the students painted with Squeeze bottles!
Learning how to squeeze things builds up core strength in those little hands and starts to get children ready for writing or using tools like scissors.
Approaching the provocation, the students immediately recognized the squeeze bottles, which where once filled with water- but this time, they were filled with paint. Surprise!
As the students sat on the white paper canvas, investigating the bottles, their teacher began telling the children to “Squeeze”. After demonstrating, the students began squeezing away! Excited to see the colorful paint squirt out of the bottles and land on the paper.
The students repeatedly squeezed their bottles and shouted out the word “Squeeze”. Bravo, Friends!
It was a lovely surprise to see the students observing each other as they engaged in the stimulating activity.
In school we work on fine motor activities every day, in playful ways. Our children have no idea the reason behind it, of course. They just know it’s fun!
Story Time in the Park!
Creating a Rainbow for Our School Window!
Our students created a beautiful rainbow with colorful pieces of construction paper and glue!
It is safe to assume that the their favorite part of making our beautiful rainbow was exploring the little pieces of colorful construction paper. The students took turns sticking the tiny papers to the sticky rainbow and also climbing in the sensory bin to toss the paper- throwing the paper in the air and shouting “yay!”.
Beautiful job, friends!
Annabelle Driving the Car!
Annabelle, do you have a license?
Circle Time!
During circle time we added a few puppets, as we sang some of our favorite songs:
-”Twinkle Twinkle”- star puppets
-”Oh Mr. Sun”- Sun Puppets
-”Five Little Speckled Frogs”- frog puppets
The students loved holding the props and it offered them a great visual aid.
Puppets can sing, dance, speak in rhyme, touch, laugh, or cry.
By capturing the child’s attention, they strengthen listening skills and vocabulary development.
Puppets are also a valuable means for promoting oral language skills and confidence.
