Our life sized shoe has been the highlight today! Friends have filled it with pillows, dishes, books and blankets.

 

For the last several afternoons, friends have been constructing a cardboard house with various materials. This experience culminated with a discussion yesterday about different types of houses (including our own) . We explored National Geographic photographs of different houses around the world.

To exercise fine motor muscles and hand/eye coordination we’ve been threading with yarn and cardboard.

 

What began as a threading exploration grew into a collage creation and then feather duster art connecting feathers to straws!

Simon shared his family collage with us! We learned about his family, special friends and also where they lived! He also shared pictures of himself as a baby!

We celebrated Simon and Oliver by singing and dancing to “We Are Family” (the Sister Sledge arrangement!)

 

We ended our creative music time with a ZigZag Meditation where friends created a zigzag formation with their bodies by laying heads on tummies!

 

 

For lunch we served refried rice with chicken and veggies, snap peas and applesauce. This afternoon we are indulging in a rare (but exciting!) movie fest with a popcorn snack!

Have a terrific weekend!
