Dear Parents,
First off I want to remind you that our Chick-Fil-A night is Wednesday! Woo Hoo! Mrs. Clausen and I will be there from 6pm-7pm. Come have dinner and meet the other great families in this program.
Also I have some very exciting news! We have built a sensory garden upstairs in the garden area. You are probably thinking what is a sensory garden. A sensory garden allows kids to experience things using their five senses. We have a plot for seeing that is filled with flowers, a plot for smelling that is filled with herbs, a plot for tasting that has collard greens and kale, a plot for touching that has bumpy and soft plants, and a wind chime for our ears to hear. The students loved digging in the dirt and watering the plants. They are very protective of "their garden."
Friday was a wonderful time with Mr. David, the music therapist. We played different instruments including some bells.
Monday was equally as fun with Mrs. Wendy, the adaptive art teacher. In the morning students finished the color wheels they were working very hard on. In the afternoon students worked on apples and talked about how apples could be different colors.
This morning Ms. Still came in and students created colored salt. They rubbed chalk up and down on the salt to change its color. The salt then can be spread out on a table or a tray and students can practice their pre writing strokes in it.
