My students loved getting to see the new paint materials and look even more excited when I told them we were using them for arts and crafts. Our next steps will be getting to do more crafts for each holiday and season that it coming up. These materials are allowing students to see how creative they can be with other materials than just crayons and markers.

We have practice on how to keep food and drink on the tables and trays. However, accidents or messes are still made due to them being four and five years old. When these messes are made, it is important to clean them up and show them that cleanliness is very important. Having the vacuums and the cleaner has made a huge difference in distractions as well as keeping germs out. When students tend to get sick we have the ability to put stuff on it to harden it and sweep/vacuum it up and then clean it up with the carpet cleaner.

When we go outside and museums, we do scavenger hunts. The class loves going around and looking for different things and checking it off or drawing it.

This is so exciting because they go to the regular school library weekly and they still choose to check out in my class as well.
