All Aboard!

This week we continued on with our ocean theme. Here we are painting bubble wrap to create the effects of a real looking starfish! Of course we had to add glitter! 

Getting Active! 

Students participated in risky play by engaging in sock wrestling.
The goal is the pull the other competitors socks off while staying on the mat. 

Here we set up an obstacle course for children to practice their gross motor movements! Jumping, running, scooting and crawling are all beneficial for helping your child develop these big movements.
