Parade practice is going really well! It is a daily center where I take small groups for a walk using the walking rope we walk for about 3 to 4 minutes before turning around to walk back to class. Friday was our first whole class practice. We walked the entire route and stopped into three 5th grade classrooms! It took about 20 minutes and we did a great job! Students held onto the rope and stayed in line while walking across the playground, up the ramp, across the campus to the upper playground, around the entire big playground stopping half way to say hi and bye to the fifth grade classrooms, back on the playground to head back to class. This Friday I am thinking about adding more noise as another distraction and sensory input that students will experience on Halloween.
In terms of our daily art this week students will create lots of pumpkins. Today the art center used toilet paper rolls to stamp on the paper. Then small sponges created the stem of the pumpkins. Tomorrow we will use the easel for the first time in a while and paint while standing and wearing an apron. Other art activities planned for the week include using our fingerprints, painting, and creating a jack-o-lantern with simple shapes. It's another week of fun in K1! As always please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
