Next week of February 23, 24, & 25 we will:

  • Increase hand eye coordination by pinching and placing small bits of paper, googly eyes, feathers, and tape
  • Practice pencil grip by drawing lines with markers and painting
  • Work on handskills forming our hands into special shapes for hand-printing
  • Enhance cutting skills by cutting thick paper and small pieces of paper

Sensory experiences you may encounter:

  • Sticky glue on fingers
  • Sticky tape on fingers
  • Wet paint on hands
  • Soft, floaty feathers
  • Fluttery tissue paper
  • Wearing an apron to keep clean while painting
  • Wearing a face covering/mask in the classroom
  • And as always, you can expect variety of noises and voices in the classroom: some joyful, some loud, some quiet, and some just learning how to navigate this world.
