So tired...but so worth it!

My favorite class on Monday is a high functioning high school class.  They are so awesome.  One of my students said "Miss Tasia, you have the purtiest smile that I have ever seen".  Haha. I love these kids.  The same student asked me if I was voting and I told him I wasn't down here because I was from out of town.   He apparently didn't like that answer because he simply turned around and walked off hahaha.  

This week a lot of the Pre-K and Elementary classes have been using an apple theme.   My favorite activity is one that involves sensory stimulation.  I'm using two different colored apples, red and green. Visually, they see the different colors of apples.  I know that there are also yellow colored apples that you can use.  For touch, the students get to feel the apples and explore the smooth or rough skin of the apples.  For smell, I bought a macintosh apple liquid scent from wal-mart.  It is a very strong apple smell.  Lastly, and my favorite, for taste I used sour apple spray candy.  The faces these kids made were priceless.  It's such a great activity.  It also helps a lot of these kids with expressive language.  Not every kid likes sour candy!  Remember, anytime you use any thing that involves food, make sure there are no allergies!
