On a typical Friday at school we try to have fun with our last day of school for the week. After our daily morning meeting we allow the children lots of movement breaks. They get to choose between going for a walk or time in our sensory room! If possible, allow the kids time to play today and play with them. Show them two toys and ask them to pick which one they want to play with. Model for them how the toy works, then play with them and have some joyful moments together!
Our Friday special is Art. Spring brings a lot of rain! When it rains we need an umbrella to keep us dry. If we were at school today we would have made this fun umbrella craft from things that we can find around the class! If you have construction paper, yarn or rope, and paper plates I hope you and your child will make this fun umbrella craft for the season.
After lunch we would try to get each kid outside for some fresh air and independent play time. When outside we would listen and look for birds. Touch the trees and talk about how they are starting to grow green leaves. We would hunt for flowers and touch the moist dirt. The sun is starting to peak through today! Try and get outside for a walk or some playtime in the yard. Getting outside helps break up the day, and allows for a change of scenery!
On Fridays we continue with our weekly news 2 you stories and activities. Our favorite part is telling the jokes using adaptive switches (have some fun and tell the joke to your family)!
