Sensorial Update

I have been putting a big effort into giving sensorial lessons and the kids have responded by choosing these materials frequently over the last weeks.  Here are some highlights:

           

 

      

Just a Great Moment….

We have been working with the sensorial materials quite a bit, and today I turned around and saw these two children deeply concentrating on their work.  It was a very cool moment!

A New Look!

It all started late last night as I was trying to add one more shelf to the math area…..

Our room is on the small side and it is very tricky to fit everything in while still making sure the space is pleasing and organized.  Four hours later I had finally gotten everything to fit, and addressed all the changes that we had been considering.  Here are some pictures of our new layout:

 

 

         

The kids were very interested in the changes when they arrived today.  We gathered everyone together and explained that we moved things around to make it easier to work.  Then we went on a tour of the classroom together.  My assistant and I were amazed at the positive response from the chidlren and the positive changes that came about.  We both felt the room to be bigger, which was really interesting.  We also noticed an increased visiblity – no “hiding” spots, although the tables are spread out allowing more quiet work areas.  Overall, the room feels brighter, more organized and quite refreshing!!
