Welcome to the After Party! Each week after the weekly blog featuring activities in the elementary department is posted, our sensory cart is parked in the media center where it is available for check out by the rest of the school.

Here are photos from the month of March.

 

 

 

 

 

We started the month off with Aladdin!

There was a a fabulous umbrella with colorful lights and figures.

 

 

 

There was a sandy Cave of Wonder.

More play figures added to the fun.

 

 

 

 

Our black and orange rice was very eye catching.

There were 3 tigers to find in the box.

 

 

 

Discovery bottles filled with jewels and gold from the Cave of Wonder were a hit.

 

 

 

Colorful monkeys could be found in a box of blue beans.

More blue was found in our genie oobleck.

 

 

 

Our next unit focused on Women in Sports.

 

 

 

 

 

Red, white, and blue rice filled our Jackie Joyner Kersee box.

 

 

 

We even color coordinated our scoops!

 

 

 

Insta-snow filled a box dedicated to Chloe Kim.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lisa Leslie is a famous WNBA player. The students made orange Floam basketballs in her box.

 

 

 

 

Gold beads represented all the medals won by Wilma Rudolph.

This box was a hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The students sorted black, white, and striped referee pompoms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our water play featured animals that swimmer Gertrude Ederle may have encountered swimming across the English Channel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, we learned about machines!

The students used a train shaped cookie cutter

to cut trains in blue moonsand.

 

 

 

 

There were some fun fans to explore!

These were a hit!

 

 

 

 

School buses are machines the students are very familiar with!

There were 2 buses to find in a box of black beans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A box of wood shavings contained a giant pencil—to represent another familiar machine, the pencil sharpener.

They had fun “drawing” pictures.

 

 

 

 

A toy airplane flew around shaving cream clouds.

Another successful messy play.

 

 

 

 

The students had fun with a water wheel…..

another interesting machine!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had 2 different scents this week. First, a sweet one that smelled like something cooked in the oven.

The second scent came from scratch and sniff cards that smelled like oil/gas—-yuck!

 

 

 

 

We finished with a fun unit all about the color GREEN!

 

 

 

 

This box had a variety of green items including beads, pom poms, and plush animals.

The hat was a real hit!

Very colorful fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bright green rice was very eye catching.

Scooping skills could be practiced here.

 

 

 

 

Shamrocks were cut into green Bubber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The green light box was especially intriguing!

Hard to resist!

 

 

 

 

Our emerald green kinetic sand contained a cookie cutter letter G and..

…..a small dinosaur figure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Green food coloring was added to oobleck.

Cool drippy fun!

 

 

 

 

Water play contained a green scoop and boat.

We scented the water with Bath and Body Works rain kissed leaves.

 

 

 

The matching lotion was a hit with the students.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See you next time!
