Monday Monday Monday!

 Today was definitely a gloomy Monday!  We had a few friends missing today and the rest of our friends were pretty quiet. This week our focus words have changed to MIX, POUR, and WHAT? We love talking about animals and some of our friends have talked about birds specifically so we are going to foster that interest through a new project. The kiddos were given some clay and other materials to make their own bird! We did have a few models for those that wanted/needed. This project will continue throughout the week to allow for them to formulate new ideas to add to it. In the spirit of mixing and pouring, we are keeping our kitchen open and decided to focus in on one meal in particular: Breakfast! Kids are being exposed to eggs, an extension or birds, in this area as well. Our last invitation combines pouring and mixing, colors, and a emotional regulation support by making a sensory bottle. Today the kiddos started with learning about a special tool, the funnel, to help us pour the water into our bottle. We chose one color to add to our water. The rest of the week will be spent adding to this special project culminating something they can bring home to use!

Please remember that next week is Spring Break and we will not be together. This is a perfect time to revisit a calm down space in your home with the addition of your new sensory bottle. We would also like to send home a special activity with you to complete and bring back after our break for a Family Fun In day! Stay tuned for details :)
