BEACH BLAST

SPLISH SPLASH! ITS A BEACH BASH!

Part of building our children's creativity, is giving them opportunities to explore with their imagination. We have had a blast learning more about the beach! Students have been actively participating in all the fun things we can do at the beach; play in the water, build in the sand, read books on blankets, eat a delicious picnic and more!  

We have categorized and talked about the appropriate things you would take to the beach (buckets, food, sunblock, swimsuit, etc.) versus the things that you would not see/use at the beach. Students had many conversations about personal past experiences and visualized things that they would love to do in the future. We even made a class collage of the beach using pictures provided by our little ones!

Engaging in dramatic play to convey experiences, feelings, stories or ideas is a standard for preschoolers. Using previous experiences, and learning about the beach across the curriculum, has made it that much more fun to "play at the beach" this week!

We love using our bodies to build and destroy! Building sandcastles together helped us practice our social skills. Patience, cooperation, negotiation, teamwork and sharing are all important when building such masterpieces! 

It has been so much fun to play at the "beach" in Mrs. Joann's backyard. We are the luckiest kids to be able to play in the water and sand. Everyday is a new adventure and we love to use our imaginations!
