We had lots of sensory fun this week. The week was short, but we managed to pack in a whole lot of fun!
The Food Game
On Tuesday we played a food game. The food game is a food exploration activity that encourages students to touch, tolerate, and even taste new foods! This week our food game was with melons. First we talked about the melons, then each student made a melon-kabob. Before trying the melons we played the food game which involved doing silly things such as smelling, poking, and putting the food on our hands. We will continue to play the food game throughout the year to expose students to different types of food.
Clean Mud
We had fun making clean mud this week. Clean mud is a slimy mixture made from shaved Ivory soap, water, and toilet paper. When it is all mixed together it makes for a very interesting sensory bin!
Games Day
Wednesday was games day. This week we played Honey Bee Tree, Pig Goes Pop, and Pop Up Pirate. Games are a wonderful way to help your children develop social, language, and motor skills.
Shave Cream Painting
We got messy painting with shave cream this week. The students are pretty proud of their final project which will be used to hold our Valentine cards next week.
Winter Walk
It was pretty cold this week, and with early dismissal day we did not have enough time to go on a winter walk on Wednesday. Instead we took a little walk around our school. We took finger puppets with us to "show them" our school.
