MAIL A HUG
Mailing a hug is a fun way for kids to brighten the day of a friend or a loved one that they don’t see often. With holidays approaching and birthdays passing, it is so important to still spread love. We have been working on makings gifts for each other during morning meeting. Some friends are also making cards for grandparents and sending out virtual hugs.
FINE MOTOR AND DRAMATIC PLAY
Since the children loved making moving puppets last week, we decided to make more, but this time only using our fingers. The children got to draw their character on the paper and parents helped cut out holes for the children’s fingers.
WHAT CAN YOU MAKE WITH YOUR PLAY DOUGH?
The endless possibilities of what play dough can become. We started off by making it into a ball, a snake, and finally using our fingers and hands to pinch and flatten the dough. After we all took a few minutes to explore on our own.
SPRING TIME BUTTERFLIES
As the weather gets nicer we will start to see more of our friendly bug friends flying around. Will showed us his hungry caterpillar book and we made butterflies out of toilet paper rolls. Sam made a few to show each one had a different emotion and he even talked to us about how they were feeling. The first one started off as sad, and then he wanted to change it to a happy butterfly and we discussed just like us, its okay to be sad sometimes.
SENSORY
Water play is a class favorite. Ice painting is a simple activity you can do at home. You can hide items in the water before freezing, paint the ice, or even use salt to watch a reaction.
Next week we will resume all morning meetings and google classroom activities. Please keep sharing all of your hard work and sending us videos of your week. Stay safe and have a great weekend.
