Good Afternoon!
At the art center this morning, we enjoyed emerging our bodies in the painting process! Putting our hands in paint is always a strong draw, and when their is a draw there is usually a reason developmentally. Kids are extremely hands on and need their bodies sensory systems to be fully stimulated in order to learn best. All of this explains the natural pull toward hands in paint!
Finger painting is always better when there is a printing option thrown into the mix :).
Sand has been extremely popular as a request among our class. It was requested again today, and following the interest we put together something that satisfied what friends were wanting to explore but had an aspect that was novel and stimulating for new ideas.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh watermelon.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded chicken and kidney beans, fresh mango/pineapple, and fresh cucumber/carrot/broccoli.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrot/broccoli.
Have a lovely night!
