At the Sensory Table

When we think of the sensory table, we don’t often think about sound and the sense of hearing. Today at our sensory table the children were loudly playing with the colored macaroni and dreidels making so much noise that we could hardly hear each other speak.  When I asked them if this was a quiet sound or a loud sound, the children all chimed in that it was LOUD! With all the excitement at the table some of the macaroni flew out and onto the floor where Lily noticed and pointed it out to all of us.  She and Ellen got the dustpans and brushes and began to sweep up the small pieces of broken macaroni. Our Levana children demonstrated with finesse the concept of taking care of our classroom and materials.
