Ms. Michelle was here today for OT. We began with a scooter board ride through the "bunny trial" searching for hidden Easter eggs. Once they found an egg, the kids had to pull the scooter board to the end and put their egg in the basket. Then there were five bunny hops before going back to their seat. They were building with Legos while waiting their turn. We ended with Finger Fun, which today was several fine motor tasks. First, the kids had to open the Easter eggs. Inside were stickers and stamps. Each child had a clipboard with paper on it where they had to put the stickers and practice with the different shape stamps. It was also good practice at sharing and taking turns.
Our story today was Baby Bird by Joyce Dunbar. Baby Bird wants to fly, but when he climbed out of his nest he just flopped on the ground. Baby Bird is very focused on learning to fly. He doesn't notice a squirrel sniffing around him, a bee buzzing by, a frog hopping over him or a cat stalking him. When he ended up on a roof he decided to try to fly one more time. This time it worked!!
After reading the story we talked about things that make birds special. Birds lay eggs and they have feathers. They have wings and most birds can fly.
For art, the kids made a bird feeder. First, they covered a toilet paper roll in soybutter. It was super messy! Then we rolled the sticky tube in bird seed. The kids can take the bird feeder home and hang it outside. It already has a ribbon attached! As the weather improves this week, the kids can watch out the window to see what birds come to eat the bird seed!
