We had fun painting our space ship and making it just perfect.
Sorry about the paint covered clothes, skin, and hair - sometimes there is a small price to pay for having so much fun!!

Painting Suns
We used plastic wrap to create our own mini suns this week!
Snowsuit lesson
Dressing independently can be a tricky thing for little people. This week we worked with our students on the correct sequence for putting on your outdoor clothes. Since we are trying to teach our students to do their own zippers and put on their own boots, we are encouraging them to put their mittens in their pockets so that they can put them on last thing after they have finished all of their other jobs. It can be tricky to get your boots on or do your zipper up if you put your mittens on first!
Scissor skills
We worked on our scissor skills this week. We began the week with cutting straws and licorice, and ended by cutting out paper circles to make our suns. We used this fun little poem to help remind the students about the correct cutting technique:
Fingers in the bottom,
thumb on top.
Open the mouth,
and go chop, chop, chop!

| This picture demonstrates the placement of fingers that we are encouraging our students to use. |
More Space Sensory Fun!
 |
| From digging space stars out of hair gel to playing in the black bean night sky, our space sensory experiences have been out of this world! |
Coming Up!
Space continued. We are collecting empty plastic water bottle with lids for our Galaxy Glitter bottle activity. If you have any at home please send them in Monday or Tuesday, thanks!
