This week we found ourselves in a sticky situation. That’s right, Morah Anna took out some sticky contact paper and we walked all over it on our bare feet! This helped with our sensory awareness as well as strengthening our leg muscles, which by the way, continue to get stronger. We have grown from holding on to Morah’s entire hand to only one finger! Our steps are more stable now.

Our finger muscles got a workout as well. We worked hard to “unstick” small toys placed on the sticky paper.

We beat the heat as we went outdoors early in the morning. What could be better than feeling the morning dew on our feet? Then enjoying the grainy sand on our hands....and on our hair! As we have learned the phrase “arms up” we decided it was best to show morah how rapidly we’ve learned it- but with sand in our hands. Uh-oh .

Lastly, we created a new discovery bottle. Using only oil, food coloring, glitter, and water. We observe how the oil and water don’t mix. Next week, we will try the same method in ziploc bags which we’ll add to our collection of sensory bags.

Last, but certainly not least we’d like to thank the Elikan family for donating some wonderful books to CJP! We very much appreciate it!
