1/25/2019

 
B6 is expanding their learning  experiences through exploring different sensory and movement opportunities. Everyone in Room 6 loves making spin art portraits. We also spent some time learning about the Dinosaur Exhibit at Chicago's Field Museum. In Art Therapy,  we got to dig for some  fossils to end our unit. Thanks Ms. Ferriter for planning the dig!  In APE, we are working with obstacle course equipment and learning to navigate the space. Ms. Mikl even brings our favorite colorful scarves.  We are mastering throwing, catching, and following directions!

K7's Annual Polar Express Party!

1/18/2019

 
December wouldn't be complete without our annual Polar Express Party in our pajamas to help kick-off winter break!! We managed to jam pack our half day of school with loads of activities. We started our morning with center rotations in our classroom making reindeer food, snowman soup, and candy cane ornaments before heading off to the Occupational Therapy room for a winter wonderland obstable course! We then got in line to "board" the Polar Express. Students had their tickets ready and silly props to pose in front of our Polar Express train. After boarding our train we settled in with a tub of popcorn and a nice, warm cup of homemade hot chocolate. A special thanks to our parent volunteers for helping out: Mr. France, Mrs. McMullen-Perry, Mrs. Hilliard and Mrs. Qtaishat. It was the perfect day! 

K7 had a Dynamite December!

December was a fun and busy month in Kerkstra room 7! We spent the month learning all about different Holidays around the world, reindeer, making holiday ornaments and creating our very own candy houses with some parent volunteers (special thanks to Mrs. Medek, Mr. France, and Mrs. Curpisin). We had a blast!
