☆Sensory Play☆
Sensory activities stimulate a child's senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. These types of activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore.
This week we grew water beads for our sensory table.
We place very small beads into our bins. As a group we talked about how small the beads were, what the felt like and what colors we saw.
We then added water. We checked on the beads throughout the day to observe the change in size.
Look how much the beads grew!
I added some bugs, fireflies and butterflies so that the children could search for them. They used tweezers, tongs, small cups, and their fingers to sift through the beads and pull out the items.
Please pack at least two napkins (three if your child attends Plus) and utensils in your child’s lunch box everyday.
We are excited to begin our Mystery Reader program! Please refer to the email from Mrs. Barrera for more details and let me know if you would like to sign up to read to the class.
