Counting at Group Time!
This week during group we have been reading the book Fish Eyes. The children love interacting and counting the fish as Ms. Bree-anna turns each page. The boys and girls took turns placing numbers by the matching fish.
We had the chance to experience some of things we have been learning about in our Native American Study.
During snack time we husked our own corn and enjoyed it right off the cob.
Native American Musical Instruments…we learned that native americans used all sorts of materials that they found to create music.
Hunting was a way [...]
This week the Toddlers are learning about the letter “I” during group time. To further the lesson, the boys and girls painted with colored ice cubes! It was a fun and messy new way to paint!

Creative Tots Art Show 2010
The time has come. The kids have had a phenomenal time this year learning about the artists and their works. It is amazing how much a child can absorb when immersed in the life of an artist relative to their time in history, painting techniques and surroundings. [...]

The preschoolers learned all about the three bears that live in Alaska. We explored our senses while finger painting then strengthened our fine motor muscles as we put our bears together.
We worked fine motor and reviewed our last 4 letters from April with this fun game. The children picked a letter from a bowl and then had to try to find its match on a folded card. This game is a great cognitive game as the children have to try to remember where the letter matches are!
To further our unit on things that fly, we have been exploring outer space this week! The boys and girls strengthened their fine motor skills as well as hand- eye coordination by pulling and sticking stars on paper. Each child made their very own constellation. Some children wanted lots of stars where others chose just a few! We also finger-painted crescent moons. The children love to move their fingers through the smooth, cold paint.
During group time this week, the Toddlers practiced sorting things that go! Each child took a turn placing a vehicle on the big magnetic board. The boys and girls love when it’s their turn to participate in group!
We encourage you to participate – Thank you for your comments. We love to hear from all of you!
