The Readiness program held their annual Winter Wonderland in the Solarium of Frampton Hall! The staff had set up multiple activities for the children: Snowball fights, a bobsled, a trampoline, confetti snowflakes, slime, ice fishing and so much more!
Thank you as always to the amazing staff for always putting together such amazing activities for our Readiness students!
❄️ Featured Activities
🌨 Snowball Toss – Students throw soft snowballs over a wintery wall, developing gross motor skills (throwing, bending, squatting) and visual motor integration (reaching, grasping, and crossing midline).
🚂 Polar Express – Students climb onto a small push scooter and ride it down a roller coaster, working on motor planning, balance, and sensory regulation through movement input.
🏔 Snowy Mountain Climb – Students take a “fish” and climb over a snowy mountain to feed a polar bear, enhancing gross motor strength, deep pressure input, and hand-eye coordination while navigating an uneven surface.
🎣 Ice Fishing – Using magnetic fishing poles, students "catch" fish in an icy pond, improving grasping skills, visual motor integration, and midline crossing as they drop their fish into a bucket.
🏡 Sensory Calm Down Cottage – A peaceful retreat for students to relax and regulate their sensory needs.
❄️ Special Touches & Treats:
✨ Student-Crafted Decor – Readiness students have been hard at work creating beautiful snowflakes to transform our solarium into a winter wonderland!
🍬 Snowflake Snack Bags – Thanks to Mary Catechis and our Junior & Senior friends from Schermerhorn, students will receive a special pretzel and marshmallow "snowflake" treat to enjoy in their classrooms.
📸 Wintery Photo Op – Students can capture magical memories at our festive photo station!
🏠 Snowy Igloo, Feeling Snowman, Jumbo Bowling Pins, and Sensory Slime Activity – More engaging winter-themed and educationally-based stations to explore!
🎉 A Special Guest! – Don’t miss Leslie McGivney dressed as a Gingerbread Cookie—a fun and festive surprise!
