Today we began a unit on "Family". We had new items in our free choice area and sensory manipulatives to start the week off right!
( I enjoyed the eyes in the I Spy containters!)
The students really enjoyed bubble wrap and bubbles for sensory.

They also enjoyed making soup and creating meals! |
I also brought in a pot and some kitchen utensils for pretend play cooking and cleaning dishes in the sink. Our students really like water!
I also brought in my daughters old doll house and cut out some paper doll silhouettes for the students to use inside the doll house.
During Speech we watched a video about, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". The teacher prepared several mini activities to accompany the story. It was really a great time!
This is the video that the teacher used for her lesson:
This will be a great way to watch the story over and over throughout the week. The students love anything set to music:
A great sequence/sizing activity that we used to accompany our Goldilocks video and book reading was this noodle and card necklace...students looked at sizing: small, medium, and large along with discussing what Goldilocks did first, second, and third.
We are always looking for fun ways to paint which do not ruin clothing. I came across this idea while perusing the Internet one day...
The students painted a bear cut out with chocolate pudding!
The students created bear-shaped chocolate chip cookies for this unit!
A bulletin board outside of our classroom displays a Math graphing activity fro this unit.
We also created family books using cutouts which the students used to create images of their family members.
And, last but not least, we had to create a "home" tent out of blankets, pillows, and bean bags because our students love small individualized spaces!
