We finished last-minute preparations for our Spring Market this week. The more we talked about Friday’s event, the children’s passion for “making their school beautiful” grew and grew. We participated in new art and sensory experiences including puffy paint (tempera paint mixed with glue and shaving cream) and spin art (utilizing a salad spinner.) We also worked on making a sign for the market. The children used the puffy paint we made to fill in large sized letters spelling the words “Pop of Color.” We implemented the order of the colors in the rainbow. Everyone was so proud of their work and loved seeing the sign hanging from the entrance of the school Friday morning! For our third sale item (we worked on treasure boxes and picture frames in the last few weeks), we made lemon-coconut hand scrub. The children mixed coconut oil, sugar, lemon essential oil, lemon juice and lemon zest to make the concoction. The best part was smelling it and even tasting it! When we were finished, the children were eager to wash their hands with it. Scrub, scrub, scrub! The school smelled so lovely!!
Here's some pictures from today's Spring Market reveal! Thanks for coming!!
