Dear Parents, 

        Here are some highlights of our week:

Number Counting 

In the block Center a group of friends play the counting game with morah Felicia using wood slates, tiles,unit blocks, and numbers.  Morah Felicia started off by laying the wood slates down as a platform then in numerical order placed the numbers on top of the slates. Each child took a turn tracing the numbers with the their fingers before laying we counted out each time and placed it on the slates to match the corresponding number. Our friends counted to number seven at this point they were ready to move on to something else.

Nuts and Bolts Tinkering 

Our friends were invited to explore and tinker with nuts and bolts. The nuts and bolts ranged in size. the children experimented  as they tested the nuts with bolts they discovered which nuts we're too small or too big for the bolts. They also discovered pieces could twist and swivel when put together which provided endless fun

Pyramid Provocation

This week our friends were invited to create pyramids using blocks and clay. Some friends created pyramids alternating the clay and the block using the the clay as a "cement" while  others chose just to use the blocks to construct.  

Squeegee Paint

This week the children were invited to paint with ketchup bottles and a squeegee. They had control over how much paint they wanted to squeeze and where and how messy they wanted to get.  This provided great sensory as well as gross motor opportunities while instilling positive empowerment by limiting their restrictions on the paint as long as it stayed on the paper.

  Next week we will be starting our Pesach unit.  Have a restful weekend and Shabbat Shalom from Morah Felicia and Morah Kayla
