Today the Keshet children removed the sand from our sensory table. We’ve enjoyed playing in the sand, but now it’s time to use some water, soap and sponges—time to wash our toys, tables and chairs. Some of these may be used by children in the summer program, and some will be ready for September.
We scooped and poured sand into containers, and carried it outside to use it in the big sandbox. We wiped and washed the sensory table, then filled it with clean soapy water. Now we’re ready to wash the legos, plastic dinosaurs, kitchen toys, and tools that we have played with.
The children loved this project, and we had the opportunity to talk about change, and to reflect on some important things we’ve learned and practiced this year:
Materials used in one area can later be useful in another.
We try not to waste anything.
We all take care of our classroom and our tools and playthings.
Work is easier when we all pitch in. We’re a team!
Things change, and change can be fun.
We're transferring the sand from the table into buckets.
Now we're carrying it outside. If we can't carry it, we can slide it!
Enjoying our white and sparkly sand in the big outdoor sandbox.
