During Outer Space week 4, the Shandon Members shot for the stars and landed on the moon! During art with Mrs. Angela that week, our youth created paper plate UFOs, astronaut helmets, planets out of coffee filters, and a jetpack using cardboard and water bottles. For origami they made a rocket, alien, sun, and the planet Saturn. STEM that week consisted of experimenting using Mega Space and Solar Power Kits. During cooking class with Ms. Itzel, Youth made cotton candy ice cream. For TK/K sensory play with Ms. Zar, our mini-Members played with two different space bins and had a complete blast, and the best voted team building activity with Ms. Shyleen that week was Ball Travel.
Week five’s theme was Around the World. Members traveled the world one country at a time and began by visiting Mexico on Monday, France on Tuesday, Egypt on Wednesday, China on Thursday, and Brazil on Friday. During art that week Members created a sombrero using a cup and paper plate, the Eiffel Tower, Egyptian jewelry using toilet paper rolls, Chinese lanterns, and a toilet paper roll parrot that sits on your wrist. For origami our Youth made a cactus, Eiffel tower, cobra crane, and parrot. STEM activities consisted of making butter, marshmallow towers, paper spinners, and an ocean in a bottle. Delicious Chow Mein was made during cooking class and Members got to eat that alongside a fortune cookie. TK/K’s sensory bins were Mexico and Egyptian themed and the weekly favorite team building activity was caterpillar racing. Snack time consisted of Members trying foods/ treats based on the country they visited for example, esquites, macaroons, a Turkish delight accompanied with pita bread, and a Brazilian lollipop with fruit. Members also took a trip to the Shandon Market as well as the Shandon Library where Reptile Ron had all his amazing animals to show and educate our Members.
