Good Afternoon!
Hope that everyone is having a great day! We started off our morning here at WWF by welcoming a new sensory manipulative to the house! We now have red tinsel along with strands of silver that the kids can manipulate whether it be by hand or with using a utensil. Everyone loved how it felt and looked! A few children also went to the kitchen table to play with different shaped hearts for Valentines Day that Miss Paulina generously brought in.
Then, we started music time! The children loved playing with the shakers. One of the kids brought Miss Paulina a book and we ended up singing the song that was in the back of the book! The kids loved the new song. While reading some stories about bears, the WWF house turned into the outdoors where children were walking on fours, pretending to be bears! They were making sounds like a bear and they even used a white piece of cloth as props! The activity started off by a white cloth being held by two teachers while the children stood underneath. The white cloth would be moved up and down which the children loved to see and feel. We used it as a parachute that then turned into a river where they bear crawled.
This afternoon, some children partook in a painting activity mixed with shaving cream. The kids loved the feel of it on their hands. It was a great sensory activity where the kids could see how it felt by squeezing what was in his or her hand.
For lunch today, the kids enjoyed cheese quesadillas, apples, and carrots.
