Blankets, and bubbles, and sand oh my!

We were so busy learning about the different things found in our classroom this week. Building our vocabulary skills, the Morah walked us around naming the different objects in the room. Amongst our favorites is an activity panel posted on the wall. We must stand in order to play with it. There is also a new I Spy bottle in the mystery basket. In it, we see rice, strings, cotton balls, beads, and other things we talked about as we shook the bottle.

Whoever said blankets are only for sleeping? This week we went on a blanket ride all through the classroom. Our heartwarming smiles were priceless!

We took a trip to our outdoor classroom this week. We worked on strengthening our finger and hand muscles by playing in the sand pit. We talked about how it felt : rough, bumpy, squishy, and dry.  We compared it to the soft, dewy, fresh grass on the other side of the playground.

Bubbles and more bubbles!  They are an excellent way to help develop visual skills. Because bubbles are both eye catching and slow moving,they are a great way to help learn to use the eyes and develop these skills. We took our bubble wand outside for this activity. Although they didn’t reach out for the bubbles , they did follow the slow-moving bubbles with their eyes.  They handed me the bubble wand when I would purposely put it down.
Amazing !   

Next week we will expand our vocabulary skills by learning the names of our face parts.
