Welcome back everyone! We hope everyone had a relaxing and wonderful Christmas and New Year. Many of the kids returned to school with great new ideas and ready to jump into new activities! Here are a few pictures of activities the kids are working on and documentation to go along with them:
Floam-tastic!
Our class has been interested in exploring texture
and expanding on their creativity through sensory activities. This month the
teachers introduced a new item to discover by setting up a table with floam!
This allows the children to build on the previous skills learned with other
sensory activities (play dough, rice, water). It is also a great way for
children to express themselves verbally and nonverbally.

the middle, then the small.”

at my snowman, Arkpark! I see it on TV.”
