PreK Beach Day!
Posted by Faith Barbuto
We spent our last full week of school studying vowels and symbiotic relationships, pretty high level stuff! Of course the highlight of our week was Beach Day – it was non-stop educational fun from beginning to end. We started the day with our auction winner helper, London, painting our feet! These footprints later became mermaids and the students answered the question of whether the mermaid should choose love or family. Students created ocean themed movement and breathing cards to bring home for some mindfulness on the go! Next we went on mindful imaginary journey to the beach and our first round of 5th grade reading buddies recorded what we would see, smell, touch, taste and hear at the seashore. They also brought us heartfelt cards and homemade gifts, bookmarks! For our first snack we made savory versions of edible oceans. Our math project was based on a mermaid story about finding the courage within. We made bracelets of courage to remind us to be confident and made extras to present to our 5th grade reading buddies. Next out to the playground for sand box and water toy fun! After a pizza lunch and ice cream truck treat we put on our swimsuits and got ready for the main event- the octopus sprinkler!! In a moment that made the day truly special, the class was joined by some of our favorite 8th graders for some old fashioned childhood fun. Next up our second hands on snack- this time a sweet version of edible oceans. Judging by the pics this was the winner!
