  • Sensory Experiences

    We are enjoying the wonders of winter and the color white through sensory experiences.  Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore.

    Shaving cream on the tables provided an interesting textured sensory activity.  It also provides an empty canvas to practice drawing shapes, letters, and lines.

    Our sensory bin and discovery tubs provided different textures and items to sort and pour.

    Maurice Sendak’s Chicken Soup with Rice provided an activity to use all of our senses including taste!  We read the book, danced to the video with song by Carole King, and tasted chicken soup with rice!

     

  • Chicken Soup with Rice

    There is nothing better on a cold day than some warm and comforting soup! We read the book, “Chicken Soup with Rice” by Maurice Sendak, and then our friends helped make some chicken soup…with rice! They each took a turn adding in a different ingredient.

    Our friends got to try chicken soup with rice, along with rectangle crackers at snack time!

    Our art project was also focused on chicken soup with rice, so our friends used different colored rice and glue to make a bowl of pretty colored chicken soup with rice! They had fun using their fine motor skills to scoop the rice, pour it on the paper, and then shake it until it stuck to the glue.
