MONDAY, MARCH 28, 2011

Today in the Pre-School room we went to the library. The children helped picked out books that they wanted in the classroom. It was nice to see the children excited about books! After we checked out, we sat outside in front of the library, where we read our books. Literacy is a great way for the children to add new words to their vocabulary. Reading lets a child explore their world around them and lets their imagination wonder. In the afternoon we did math with shapes. The children traced the basic shapes, and made flowers out of them. This was a great way to help them learn about shapes.

Toddler News

  •    Welcome to another wonderful week in the toddler room! This week we will be talking and learning about bugs and insects.
  •    Today we talked about where do we find ants? Our project of the day was fingerprint ants. This project worked on our fine motor skill and was a fun sensory activity. We got to listen to and look at the great pictures in our books of the day: Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! and Little Buggy.
  •    This afternoon we hope to get outside for some fresh air and also some fun in our classroom using our sensory table filled with "bugs"!
