Toy switch. Each mom brought a bag of toys to switch with another student. This way they have "new" toys to play with and they'll be excited again to see their old toys when they come back (we'll be switching around for the next few weeks).
Art Time. License plate rubbings.
Wooden projects. Apollo loves these-they're a buck at Michaels and they have many many options (we've done a lot at our house).
Academic Time. Helicopter dot to dot. I put a big a little y for them to trace in the clouds. Click image below to print.
Math Time. Click on image below to print.
Snack and Story. The bran muffins were such a hit last time, we did it again. This time, instead of adding a cup of butter, I added a cup of applesauce. Tasted great.
I borrowed this flannel board and food guide pyramid from January. The kids took turn putting the foods in the right group.
Music time. We pretended to be trains. We sang Down by the Station (I would sing a line, and they would copy me).
Down by the Station
Early in the morning,
See the little puffer bellies,
Allin a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot, off we go
Science Experiment.
Rolling jars. Several clear jars of the same size were filled with different items (quarter roll, napkin, salt shaker, etc.). We rolled them on the carpets and discussed how he items affected the jar's ability to roll.
Ramps. We had a big ramp (very long table) for the kids to roll cars down. I switched the angle and the kids could guess which angles made the cars go slower or faster. They LOVED this activity.
