Another fun day in the toddler room! The children are continuing to explore the room and the centers within our room. The new train table is definitely a new favorite. The children have been building up their gross motor skills as they play outside on our playground. They had a blast with the bubbles and drawing on the chalk board this morning. Enjoy the little sneak peek of our day!

We had a great second day in the early 3’s class! We worked on lining up –and they are quickly learning how to do this! I’m so proud of them! We practiced listening for a “quiet signal” prompt and responding correctly. In small group time, one group of children painted on foil –a fun sensory art activity. Another group of children learned how to play at the kitchen center –knowing how to properly use the center will advance their dramatic play development. The other group learned how to use the learning activities in the Early 3’s center. One of the activities we focused on is a sorting colors and shapes activity.

I am excited to learn with your children and see what this year holds for us! 🙂

Today we welcomed our Tuesday group to the toddler room!! We explored the room and centers. The children enjoyed playing with the puzzles and play dough at the tables. They did an art activity with Ms. Diana, where they glued dots onto paper. The children had fun chasing bubbles around and playing on the playground together. Overall, a fun-filled day of learning and exploring. 🙂

So excited about our first day of school!! The children enjoyed exploring all of our centers and familiarizing themselves with the room. We got to know each others’ names with a fun name activity. The dramatic play center, new train table, and kitchen were the “big hits” of the day! –Definitely a lot of fun and learning going on! During our small group time, the children learned how to use some of the items in the Early 3’s Center which included a letter/magnet/one-to-one correspondence/fine motor activity and a counting/number recognition activity. They also painted with rolling pins wrapped in bubble wrap. The children are learning the procedures and routines, and we are modeling the expectations that we have for them in this class. This is going to be an exciting school year!!

So hard to believe that it is time to start our school year!! We had an excellent first day in the Toddler Room!! Lots of exploring and hands-on fun, today! The outdoor chalkboard was a hit. The children enjoyed playing at our new train table and checking out the new centers we have in our classroom. We are excited about this school year and getting to know everyone!!

It is so hard to believe that we just wrapped up the last week of summer camp at Tots. We had an exciting last day…playing in the sensory tub with soil, noodles, shovels, and toy animals, eating ice cream from the ice cream truck, and painting with ice cubes. It has been such a blast to play, create, and explore with your children this week! Check out some of our photos from the last day:
