Farm- Library

Brooke Green planned some fun farm lessons for today during library time!

Library fun!

We would like to give a HUGE shout out to Brooke Green.  We approached Brooke a few weeks ago about helping us adjust the Life Skills related arts schedule, to add Library.  Without hesitation Brooke fit us into her schedule at West and  jumped right in, with both feet, creating fun and interactive activities.

"Brooke Green has gone above and beyond creating high interest lessons for our class every Wednesday in the library. She has read books, lead songs and dances, allowed students to play musical instruments, and even created fun sensory activities for the students! Ms. Guard gave Brooke the list of the weekly themes in the Life Skills classroom and Brooke has tied her activities to the classroom theme. For example this week students are learning about space, so Mrs. Green created sensory water bottles with colorful water, glitter, and stars to shake up! She also had "moon dust" for the students to squish through their fingers. She has done a wonderful job and we are so happy that the students get to try some new things!"

 

Brooke's extra work is allowing our class to expand their educational opportunities and interact with other people in our building.

Space week

Phases of the moon

 

Students did an art project on phases of the moon. We used OREO COOKIES- very motivating! :) They cut slices of the oreo out and drew what it looked like on their paper.

 

 

 

 

They also used gold stars on black pieces of paper to make their own constellations. We talked about how stars often make shapes in the sky, so they used a piece of chalk to connect the stars.

 

Dinosaurs

Dinosaur Week

The students have had fun learning about dinosaurs this week. We have read stories during literacy, looked at a PowerPoint discussing meat eaters and plant eaters, played a dino memory game, took a dino true/false quiz, and made sparkly paper plate dinosaur crafts.

 

We read a book called, Mine-O-Saur that talked about a dinosaur that wasn't sharing.

At the Playground
Mrs. Comer does such a nice job of planning PE activities that the students enjoy. While it has been warm outside, they have been playing at the park. When it gets colder they will have a PE schedule of activities throughout the week that they do in the gym.
