Good Morning Everyone!
I hope you all had a nice weekend!
On Friday Mrs. Radulic announced that this Flexible Instruction Time will extend to April 20. I want to support you all in any way I can, so please reach out to me if you have specific questions regarding your child.
Here are some new activities that you can try today:

Using whatever materials you may have, shaving cream, rice, sand or even the air, practice making these letters and say the sounds J and D make.

Sensory:Check out this recipe for paint I found online!Supplies for Homemade Finger Paint
The basic ratio is 1 flour: 2 water, so scale up or down according to how much paint you’d like to make. You can use washable, non-toxic liquid watercolors to add color to the paint, but you could also use food coloring for a similar effect.
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup water
- pinch of salt (optional)
- extra water
- food coloring or liquid watercolors
- Directions
- Pour flour and water into a pot.
- Stir the ingredients over medium heat until it comes together like smooth, thick paste. The mixture will be lumpy along the way, but it all comes together.
- When it starts to pull away from the pot, remove from the heat.
- Add a pinch of salt. This helps keep the paint from spoiling if you don’t use it right away.
- To reach the desired consistency, slowly add cold water to the mixture. I added about 1/4 cup water to our paint.
- Divide the paint into bowls.
- Squeeze food coloring or liquid watercolors into the flour mixture until you reach the desired color.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge if you’re not planning to use this right away. It will keep indefinitely.

Here is a link to our art teacher's website. While it does not say Pre-K I thought maybe there could be some activities that some of the students would like to explore. Let me know if you find it useful!
