Next, each student got to touch the milk.  They indicated whether it felt COLD or HOT.

Science access point: recognize objects or materials as warm or cold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since we used 3 cups, 2 DIFFERENT students got to HELP.  We first measured out 2 cups.  The students were then asked how many MORE cups we needed to add.

Math access point: solve problems involving small quantities of objects or actions using language, such as enough, too much, or more.

 

 

 

 

 

Once the pudding mix and milk were in the bowl, each student got to HELP mix it up.

After each student, we LOOKED at the bowl to see if the pudding was ALL DONE or if we needed to mix it MORE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the pudding was ALL DONE, we set it aside.  Each student got a bag with 3 Oreo cookies.  Students had to make sure they each had the correct amount.  Then, they got to SMASH their cookies into pieces.

We used an ice cream scoop as a hammer and it worked perfectly!

Math access point: associate quantities with number names.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each student had to indicate that they WANTED some pudding in their CUP.  Then, they each added HALF of the Oreos and repeated the pudding and Oreos again.

 

 

 

TaDa!  A yummy zebra striped treat 🙂

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the safari! Join us next time for more fun and learning—–Group by Group!

April/May After Party

April/May After Party

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.

 

 

 

 

We started April with Where We Go On CBI. This was a fun unit with the book featuring our students in various CBI locations.

Students used cookie cutters to stamp B U S into school bus yellow moon sand.

Blue and white rice represented one of the most popular CBI locations—— Walmart!

 

 

 

 

Another popular location is the Publix grocery store.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There were different play money coins to find buried in this box of multicolored beans.

We thought that making balls out of bright yellow Floam would be a great representation of sports activities.

 

Messy play represented the Community Arts program. We put some drops of food coloring in the shaving foam and let our artistic students mix it together.

 

 

 

 

Many of our parks have a lake or water feature. Our water feature contained the letters C B I to scoop up.

Bath and Body Works vanilla sugar scent reminded us of some yummy Publix cookies 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

We Hatched Some Baby Ducks came next.

We made our own duck egg incubator using some battery operated lights and some plastic  eggs.

Duck and egg cookie cutters were used to cut out shapes in yellow play dough.

 

 

 

 

 

There were lots of plush ducks along, with a variety of plastic eggs in our “duck hotel”.  We even lined it with some bedding straw!

Ducks have feathers so we HAD to include some! There were 2 colorful feather boas in this box.

 

We hid 2 little baby ducks in this box of birdseed. The birdseed has such a cool texture and is so much fun to bury your hand into.

 

 

 

One big rubber duck swam around our blue oobleck pond.

There were 4 colorful ducks floating in our water bin. We also included a measuring cup for scooping.

We put a lot of fun items in this box, including an actual graduation cap!

 

 

 

Also included were mylar balloons, play money, toy camera, phone, sunglasses, etc.

 

 

 

The numbers 2 0 1 9 were found in colorful confetti rice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This box was dedicated to our school mascot—–

 

 

 

 

—–the owl!

 

 

 

 

Some graduates go on to college programs, so we represented that choice with a box of colorful cheerleader pompoms in the colors of nearby Universities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parties are a part of graduation events and when you have a party there is usually CAKE! Our cloud dough was made using strawberry cake mix and it smelled SO good!

 

 

 

 

 

Keeping in the celebratory mood we added some colorful Mr. Bubble bath crackles into our oobleck.

 

 

 

This was fun!

 

 

 

 

Some lucky graduates might get to go on a cruise! We put in a couple of little boats to float around a mini ocean.
