Vroom Vroom!

Last week we put away space and switched over to the wonderful world of transportation!  The students loved this little song we sang every day.  I encourage you to sing it at home as well:

Take a Trip

(sung to the tune "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")

Take a bus or take a train, 

Take a boat or take a plane, 

Take a taxi, take a car, 

Maybe near or maybe far, 

Take a spaceship to the moon, 

But be sure to come back soon!

Painting With Cars

We strengthened our fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through this fun sensory activity last week!  We are using our masterpieces to create new placemats.

Mat Man

We brought our friend Mat Man back again last week.  This time, we created him on the tables using shave cream.  Mat man is a body awareness program that helps to establish those oh-so important pre-printing skills.

Games, Games, Games

We had fun playing games on Wednesday and Thursday.  Games are a fantastic way to develop social skills such as turn taking, waiting, and learning to be a good sport. 

Apple Cars

 

Apple cars were a major hit during snack time for our students!  Before the students could build their car they had to taste test and choose between three different wheel options - bananas, grapes, or Cheerios.
