Welcome back to the Yellow Room.
שנה טובה ומתוקה
Wishing you a sweet new year, and an inscription in the book of life.
May you also have an easy, healthy fast in the upcoming Yom Kippur Holiday.
We played with many different balls that were a great sensory experience. They were different sizes, colors, and textures. Madison really liked the blue bumpy ball.
Wednesday was a busy day loaded with lots of fun.
During davening/tzeddakah time Madison took the quarter from my hand and attempted to put it in the pushka herself, and with a little assistance she got it in on her 5th try! This was a wonderful step in her development. From pinching the coin to independently attempting to put the coin in the pushka.
After Davening we played with clay. Using animals as an accessory. I stuck the animals in the clay, and Madison took her time concentrating on how to pull the animals out from the clay.
Later in the afternoon when circle time was finished we worked on an art/sensory project in line with Yom Kippur and Kapporos. We used feathers to decorate print outs of chickens. Contact Paper helped hold the feathers on to the page. Madison was fond of taking all the feathers from the bin and feeling them in her hands. She spread them out all around her then would grab bunches moving them from one side to another, and placing them on the contact paper.
Thursday brought a new sensory experience: Natural paint (using spices Cinnamon, Turmeric, and Paprika) brought in a new aspect of sensory: smell!
Madison enjoyed playing with the paint in the cups and with the assortment of brushes. She began to dump the paint onto the page. This was fun until she touched the paint with her hands- she did not like the texture! It felt gritty and rough, we will try again in a few weeks!
Shabbat Shalom,
See you next week
