The younger group at the Neighborhood School has kept very busy with a variety of fun activities during these snowy months. The most popular activity has been the sand and water table. With soapy water in the table, the children had the opportunity to wash dolls and dishes. They also measured, poured, whipped and mixed the water. Now with the dry ingredients of corn meal and rice in the table, the children can measure, sift, pour and mix. As you can imagine, there are many smiles on the faces of the children involved in this activity. Next month sand will be put in the table for further exploration and discovery.
Other activities which have provided fun and excitement include making snow ice cream, paper cut-outs and Valentine cards and pictures. In the coming months the children will be baking more cookies and making vegetable soup.
In addition to these activities, the five and six year old group continues to find learning to read an exciting challenge.
