Today, we only had two children come to school, Gavin and Drew. Because of the small attendance, I was worried about how much interest the children would have in my sensory table. It seems like the children's interest in the sensory table has declines since Monday. It turned out the children were hardly involved with the table today at all. I believe Drew came over for a few seconds and walked away when I tried to get him involved with the table, and Gavin also only came over for a few seconds. I am planning on using the same materials for at least the first half of next week again. I did not get a very good chance to document the children's involvement with the table this week and I would like more time for assessment, and also give the children more opportunities to explore and hopefully get used to and enjoy the sensory table. Let's hope it works out.
