WEEK OF 9/17/12

MONDAY~Technology Class
~Mrs. Crain introduced children to the I-pads we will use at school and demonstrated some basic skills for using the I-pads.

TUESDAY~Art
~Mr. Cicetti demonstrated how to do printmaking.  Children also had the opportunity to paint, use clay, or do KidPix on the computer.

WEDNESDAY~Cooking--We made matzoh ball soup!
 

 THURSDAY~Swimming
~We reviewed how to get into the water using the ladders.  The children were also taught how to get out of the water from the side of the pool and how to "slide" down the wall to get into the water from the side of the pool.  
~We "creeped" along the pool wall and went to the deep end of the pool.  Mr. Yakscoe demonstrated how to be a "submarine" in the water.  
~Children were given some "free time" in the water in the shallow end.  There were "noodles", kick boards, and flotation "barbells" to use for support if wanted/needed.
Overall, the children are doing VERY well with their comfort level and confidence in the water!


FRIDAY~Discovery--Marshmallow Experiment
