Nursery and PreK - September 6-10

Introducing Sensory Tubs

This week we are introducing sensory tubs. We know that the sense of touch is powerful and key to our learning processes. It is important for young people to have a wide variety of tactile experiences. Sensory tubs give your young one the opportunity to explore a variety of materials thoroughly without being told to - "be careful", "don't play with your food", "don't spill" or "don't get dirty". Each week we will explore two different materials, one wet (ooey gooey) and one dry. This week one tub will be full of cooked pasta shapes and the other one will have a variety of dry beans and rice. Hmmm, I wonder what we will cook up next week?
