Today, it was all about teamwork and cooperation.
· “Parachute Play”: We played with the parachute and focused on learning our friends’ names, e.g., trading places with a friend, trying to roll a beach ball to a specific friend.
· Small Group Art Project “Rainbow Sparkle Bottle”: Students created a rainbow of swirling colors by filling small plastic bottles with light corn syrup, water and glitter. Students were encouraged to help each other to complete this project.
How to create a Magic Sparkle Bottle:
Fill bottle about 3/4 (or less) full with corn syrup (light corn syrup works best).
Add glitter.
Fill the rest of the bottle with cold water.
Tape the bottle cap.

· “Fly to the Rainbow”: Students partnered up and completed an obstacle course together. Cooperation was required (e.g., carrying a beach ball together). At the end of the course, they activated stomp rockets and pretended that the rockets would reach a rainbow.
