Apple camera dump

Hi there all!  I wanted to push out some of the ideas I am using this week with my senate kiddos!

Let's go banana's...I mean apples!

The Firstie Nation Apple Market Place

So cute, so much fun!

 Apple/cinnamon play dough.   (spelling words, fine motor activity)

See the Johnny Appleseed hat?

 apple sensory trays

predictable chart  (see a pattern?)

Little Motor. Big fun!

Hi there Nation fans!
Not sure about you, but my little senate members are truly remarkable little people. They have me wrapped around their fingers already.  Oh. Boy!

This year I have some kiddos that are struggling with pencil grip, coloring, writing their names  and overall fine motor skills.  I thought to myself..."self, what are you going to do to help your students get stronger in these areas?"  With the awesome help of some of my favorite people, these are a few of my starting ideas.
I have these activities waiting each morning for the senate.  These also help to control a bit of the morning chaos.

 LEGO PARTY

 Dress a pipe cleaner?  (not sure what to call this.)

cut-up straws over a pipe cleaner.

The senate loves these activities, as does the President.

TRY THEM!

Don't Forget to Be AWESOME!!!
