Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all of our Early Intervention Pre-K (EIP) families. What a cold first week back to school! I hope everyone had a lovely winter break and was able to rest and recharge for the New Year. Even though we were stuck inside this week, we had lots of prehistoric fun starting our dinosaur unit!

Dinosaurs in the Gym!
Dinosaurs in the Gym!
All of our little dinosaurs enjoyed an obstacle course in the gym this past week. From climbing across the dangerous cliff to crawling through dinosaur caves, everyone was excited to move their bodies and give the different equipment a try!

How Big Was a T-Rex's Foot?
How Big Was a T-Rex's Foot?
On Monday, I challenged our four-year-olds with the question, "how big was a t-rex?" We watched a short video about the size of a t-rex and I showed them a replica of a t-rex foot print that I had made according to dimensions I found while doing research online. This HUGE footprint intrigued us and we got right to work checking out just how big this foot print actually was! It was amazing to see how many of our foot prints (shoes) could fit inside just ONE t-rex foot! Both classes were so eager for this early numeracy activity that we measured the t-rex foot print with other items as well, including our visual schedule pictures and classroom stuffed animals.

Dinosaurs in Lava!
Dinosaurs in Lava!
On Tuesday we enjoyed some dinosaur science. Each child had a miniature dinosaur land made our of baking soda. They then strengthened their fine motor skills to drop lava (red vinegar) onto the trays. Watching the chemical reaction was so exciting!

How Do We Wash Our Hands?
How Do We Wash Our Hands?
On Monday, we worked with our four-year-old group on proper hand washing. We washed the following video, then went to the bathroom to practice the proper hand washing technique. I hope you are seeing improvement in your children's hand washing techniques at home too! Our three-year-olds will engage in this lesson next week.

A New Calm Down Tool
A New Calm Down Tool
On Wednesday, we talked about the different feelings we know and discussed that sometimes when our feelings get big, we need a calm down tool to help ourselves feel better. We then tried out a new calm down tool, stretching. Stretching is a wonderful way to use your body to regulate your emotions during moments of upset. The students enjoyed trying out a variety of different stretches.

Keeping Busy in the Cold!
Keeping Busy in the Cold!
Being stuck inside can make the days feel long and restless. We tried to support our students with lots of opportunities for movement while they played inside this past week!
