Spring is here!!!

Spring is officially here!! Throughout the month of April we will be focusing on Spring!! Over spring break we were hard at work getting the classrooms "Springified" and we have lots of fun themed activities, toys and games.
 Get dressed up and pretend to jump in puddles!! Meanwhile, working on dressing skills (i.e., orienting a jacket, buttoning, etc.) as well as gross motor skills (i.e., coordination, balance, etc.).
 Then the children can play in the "pond" with the ducks and frogs! Identifying colors, counting, labeling, and playing.
 We have a bird house center set up where the kiddos can paint and decorate their very own wooden bird house and hang it up in our STA garden or take it home.
 Coloring and drawing activity!!
 Lots of ready to go spring themed crafts. Adaptable for all abilities.
 Easter themed tactile table filled with play grass, plastic eggs, buckets and shovels. The kiddos can dress up like a bunny and search for Easter eggs. The eggs are filled with all different surprises.

 Build with blocks, choose a fun toy or game, or take a seat and read a book.
 Playground and Little People!! A great activity that always has children playing together around the table.
Dice Game. Take turns rolling the dice and act out the action. "EVERBODY, LET'S JUMP LIKE A FROG!!!!".
 Bug Tactile Table. Children can dig and pour the grass/ green rice and look for or hide bugs.
 This is a topic board used to promote communication.
 Sidewalk chalk activity!! Draw with chalk.
 Get dressed up as a bird and play!!
 Children can play at the garden center and take turns being the customer and a cashier.
 Go for a little picnic.
 Choose the color and how many to make a flower arrangement!
 Feed the bunny while working on numeracy skills.
 Spring Play-doh!!
 Flower numbers!

 Spring cleaning!!
