Lions and Tigers and Chicks

In today's world, fraught with horror, I just know you’ve been waiting breathlessly for this week’s newsletter from our granddaughters’ preschool. Among last week’s activities:

 

·         Using hands and scissors to shred/cut toilet paper for the clean mud project. I can just see the paper flying. And what’s a clean mud project? Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

·         Using tape, and markers to build tall buildings and icebergs for polar bears and penguins (we used the markers to color bathing suits for them!)

    Building caves for mountain lions, tigers, leopards and turtles in the block area Bathing suits and caves? The animal contingent seems to be well cared for      

    Scooping buttons with large ladles, spoons, and different size cups Have you ever run your hands through your grandma’s button box? Very satisfying – it should be included in all therapy sessions 

    Visualizing a calm place/space First the buttons, then visualizing. I could have used this class after a tough day at work.

And best of all, this forecast of things to come:

·         We are partnering up with Casey Farm to participate in their Project Chick. We will be taking care of them, while they're in an incubator until they hatch!

Now I’d really like to pull up a tiny chair to a tiny table and join in.
