We hope the holiday brought you more treats than tricks this year! We certainly had plenty of fun with our special snacks and goodies provided by our families this week! Thank you to all who sent in treats! Someone even sent a special char’boo’terie board for the teachers to share. We appreciate the thoughtfulness and special treat!
This week was full of playful things for friends to enjoy and learn with. Our sensory bins were filled with creepy crawlies to sort in various ways, while another was filled with Ooblek during Science when we learned about a special state of matter called a non Newtonian liquid. That means it shares properties with both a solid and liquid. In Wiggle Room friends played pretend, sang along with favorite songs and danced along with the Hokey Pokey.
We had puppet show performances, used pattern blocks to create pictures, assembled both large and small jigsaw puzzles and constructed so many things using Picasso tiles. There were various pumpkin pages to color and one special pumpkin to assemble a face on using Picasso parts. Using pencils and paper to write names was a way to exercise our grip strength and we used our pincher fingers to thread pasta in order to make necklaces.
Our week was made complete by a special surprise guest! The one and only Spider-Man made a guest appearance on Thursday afternoon. He handed out a treat to everyone and posed for a picture for anyone who wanted to stand with him. He was gracious enough to answer questions and talk about always being a good friend in school. It was so kind of Spider-Man to drop in and see our friends at Smart Start!
We had several of our friends wear their change of clothes home this week as they changed out of their costume. Weather is getting cooler and it is a good time to send a new full set of clothes in for your child that is more weather appropriate. Please send in a new set and the set we currently have will be sent back home. As always, if you have any questions feel free to message using the Remind app. Also, if you need a new copy or have forgotten your snack day, please reach out.
Have a great weekend!
Ms. Leah, Ms. Jacquita and the Smart Start team
