Today our classroom was SPINNING with activity!!!!!!!

Tumblers said a final goodbye to Ms. Patti and the Y. She awarded WF gymnasts with trophies!

We explained to our toddlers that soon they too will be tumbling with Ms. Jennifer on the gymnastics bus! They jumped up and down with excitement and with full voices expressed “we walk down the steps and get on the bus!” They also talked about the “trampolina”!

 

We created music, first by visiting the beach and feeling the waves wash over us……and then we spun our bodies around the circular table for “The Ants Go Marching”.

The younger children also had a marvelous time sharing a large tub of sudsy water. They swirled water with their hands, dumped & poured with measuring cups, squeezed droppers, and squirted basters & syringes.

For art today, the children excitedly worked cooperatively with the lazy susan, round paper and markers to create “spin art”. They noticed how the lines changed when the marker was held still versus moving their hand with the marker. The final product was colorful and unique!

For lunch, we continued spinning! We had tortilla spin art (ham, cream cheese, and whole wheat tortilla spirals), cantaloupe, and carrots.

Have a great day!
