Cinnamon Air Fresheners

 Remote kindergartners were able to enjoy a hands on, messy, sensory exercise recently when they created air fresheners.  Made with yummy tasting ingredients applesauce and cinnamon, the dough looks dark and smells delicious.  It feels wet and sticky and made our hands messy.  

Everyone had to roll out dough balls, use a cookie cutter to cut the shape and then add a hole for the string.  Lots of direction following was involved. 

Holidays We Celebrate

 This past week kindergartners  learned about some of the Holidays we might celebrate. We read and learned about about Diwali, Hanukkah, Chinese New Year Kwanzaa.  Next week explore Naw Ruz, Eid and Christmas.   We also are creating a book to go along with these holidays. 

We learn that these holiday celebrations all have a lot in common including, spending time with family, exchanging gifts, delicious foods, new clothes, decorating, games, singing and light- most of the holidays have some type of light associated with it- Diya for Diwali, Menorah for Hanukkah, Candles for Christmas and the Kinara for Kwanzaa.  We will learn about the new moon at Eid, Christmas tree lights and the celebration of brighter spring days at Naw-Ruz.
