๐ŸŒจโ„๏ธ No snow? No problem! ๐Ÿ‘ Even before this weekโ€™s snow, the students at Southwest City Early Childhood classes got creative with their winter learning! ๐Ÿ“š The students used shaving cream โ˜๏ธ to create a snowy sensory experience on their tables and practiced writing their names, shapes, numbers, and letters in the "snow." Besides being a lot of fun, the activity: โ„๏ธ Provides a unique sensory experience for the students, allowing them to explore and experiment with writing in a different way. โ„๏ธ Helps improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. โ„๏ธ Can be a good way for students to practice writing in a fun, low-pressure environment before moving on to more traditional writing tools such as pencils and pens. โž• Bonus: no cold hands or noses! ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿฅถ Just another way McDonald County Schools are making a difference in every child, every day, whatever it takes! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค #EarlyChildhoodEducation #CreativeLearning ๐Ÿ“ #SensoryLearning ๐Ÿง’ #SouthwestCityEarlyChildhood #LearningThroughPlay #NoSnowNoProblem #McDonaldCountySchools #MCR1 #WeR1
