Red Group Gardenview Visit: January 15, 2014

Doris was waiting for us when we arrived at Gardenview and Thelma joined us shortly after we finished our snacks. We did a classroom activity for Sound Connections. Every student was given the same shapes to cut out: a large rectangle, a triangle, 2 circles and a long, skinny triangle. I asked them to try to make an object that started with the letter D. After trying for a while, some students were able to come up with a dump truck.

Shelly (one of our mom volunteers) is shown here checking in on a table.

Doris helped out a couple of boys at one table.

Thelma did her own Davey Dumper art puzzle. One of our students helped Thelma with some of the gluing.

We had  a discussion about how we can start conversations with the residents when we visit them at coffee time. Some conversation starters that they came up with were "Hello", "How are you?" and "How was your Christmas?". We were greeted by happy clapping when we entered the coffee room as the residents were so happy to see us! The kids put their new conversation skills to work.
We are looking forward to our next visit!
