Today we sang the the "5 little speckled frogs" song and used our interactive book to move the frogs as we sang the song. Then we sang and danced to the song on the smart board. We played a game using a dice that had all different frog pictures on it. Everyone had multiple turns to roll the dice and then we all graphed it using daubers.

Our student's love music therapy and look forward to Thursdays when Miss Jenna comes! We have been lucky to also have Mr. Ben joining us the past few months too. Mr. Ben is an intern at Worcester Center for Expressive Therapies.
We are so excited that we received a grant to be able to continue music therapy next year at CES AND be able to start music therapy again at Heritage. A huge thank you to Reach Out for Schools for the grant and Mrs. Cote for helping us to receive this grant!
Today we explored frogs in sensory bins that were set up as a "frog habitat" with blue rice, beads, grass, pipe cleaners, cupcake liners for lily pads and frogs! We talked about what the frogs home looked like, where we can find frogs if we went to look outside, what they may eat, and the different colors of frogs. We also painted our hands green to make our own frogs and put a long tongue on the frog to catch flies!
Today we read It Looked Like Spilt Milk and talked about what we can see in the clouds. We made our own clouds with cotton balls and wrote what we thought our cloud looked like. We made a duckie, a pig, an ice cream cone, a superhero frog, a sheep, a ghost and a dog.
Hoping our April showers will be beautiful May flowers! Today we explored different sensory activities related to rain. We made our own rain clouds using pipets to drip watered down paint onto paper and then practiced blowing through straws to make it look like rain. We made the cloud out of ripped up cotton balls. We played in a sensory table filled with water, cups with holes to make it rain and cotton balls to use as pretend clouds that were raining. We also played in a sensory table with blue water beads and bars of soap that were cooked in the microwave (makes them expand into puffs). It was really cool to watch the bar of soap expand in the microwave too!
Yesterday we talked about Spring and what we can see changing outside to show that Spring is coming. One of the things we talked about is being able to hear the birds outside as it gets warmer. We made birds nests with birds using a variety of brown items as birds do to make their nest and put them on a fun new bulletin board that everyone enjoys looking at outside of our classroom.
