Fling Painting

Today we got a chance to express ourselves creatively and actively! We got to fling paint! It was a great whole body project that helped build turn taking skills, color skills, gross and fine motor control, and following directions.

Volcanoes

Today we had a little science fun! We talked about the dormant volcanoes in Brazil and how there is an island so steep that only crabs and spiders can live on it! That island was made from a volcano that is thought to be the oldest one on earth. Although the volcanoes in Brazil are dormant, we decided to see what it would be like if one were to erupt. 

We later used the pressure from the reaction to blow up a balloon....

....sometimes things doing always go as planned! HAHA it was a great learning experience in being able to laugh when things don't always go our way.

We just try again!

Happy Birthday Ava & Frog Jump Masks

Today we celebrated one of our dear classmate's birthdays! Happy Birthday Ava! 

Today while working on handwriting we talked about Frog Jump Letters (letters that require us to pick up our pencils and jump to finish a letter). To compliment our Frog Jump Letters and our Brazil study, we made our own Frog masks.
