In The Gym
We went on a "bear hunt" in the gym this week. While singing the song "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" the students worked their way through an obstacle course of pylons, balance beams, hula hoops, and mats to strengthen their core and locomotor skills.
Sensory Bear Art
We read the book "Big Smelly Bear" by Britta Teckentrup this week. The students loved the silly storyline in this book about a bear who refuses to take a bath.
We then made our own big fluffy bear paint by mixing shave cream, white glue, and brown paint so that we could paint our own bears. The students loved squirting the shaving cream into the bowl and mixing up the fluffy paint.
A Special Thank You!
Thank you to the Fouquette family for donating your home made marble run to our class. The marble run has been a huge hit amongst all the students. It has been great opportunity to learn about scientific concepts as well as practice our turn taking skills! Thanks also to the Fouquette family for generously sending in play dough for us to enjoy!
Volunteers Needed!
I still need two more volunteers from the morning class for our Let's Bake Presentation that will be happening on Thursday, November 30th. Thank you to the parents who have already offered to help out. If you are interested in helping out please let me know.
