The children were able to make lovely, marbled shaving cream art today. The sensory experience (touch and smell) often make this project one of the children’s favorites and the amazing final product usually make it one of the teachers’ pet projects!

Keeping an eye on next Tuesday

Hello, dear Parents!

Next Tuesday also looks colder than is preferrable for a Splash Day.

If the forecast stays low (my weather app is predicting 83 as the high), we will have a watermelon, bubble, and activity day (probably noodle painting!). The children can wear their regular clothes and shoes; no splash day bags needed.

Thank you so much for your flexibility. I suspect we are all OK with the cooler weather because we know what temperatures are headed our way soon 🙂

Next week’s Splash Day and Messy Art Day

Hello, dear Parents!

The weather looks a little stormy and chilly next week for Splash Day and Messy Art Day. 

I would like to see if the forecast changes before any adjustments to the schedule are made, so I will let you know if we need to substitute Splash Day for a game day day by Monday evening. If it is stormy on Wednesday, we will substitute splatter painting using fly swatters with a shaving cream marbling activity.

Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions at all,

Rachel

Making playdough with Kool-Aid!

Next week will be fly swatter painting! Expect your child to come home with flecks of paint in their hair from ‘painting’ with their fly swatter.

Our first Splash Day!
