This month, the Toddlers have been working on the vocabulary and concept of top, middle, and bottom. The children have lots of opportunities to build on this concept throughout the classroom. Today the boys and girls took turns placing clothing on the magnetic board.
The Toddlers have been strengthening their fine motor skills. The boys and girls used clothespins to move pom poms into colored cups. The children worked on color recognition and sorting… they did a great job!
Gross motor skills are movements that help children develop large muscle control in arms, legs and the entire body. As a toddler, it is important that your child keep exercising these muscles to enable her to run, jump, throw, climb, etc. Due to the cold and wet weather, we have been working on these movements inside. We practiced tossing balls into a bucket, jumping from circle to circle, and building with blocks.
The Toddlers have been talking about all things winter this month. During group time, we have been going over clothing that keeps you warm when it’s cold outside. During art, the boys and girls took turns decorating mittens with rectangles (our shape of the month). We went over shape and color recognition as they used fine motor skills to make their art.
One of our learning objectives this month is the concept of top, middle, and bottom. We decided to build a felt snowman to go over this objective. The children enjoy building the snowman by adding parts of his body, adding a face, and finishing off their creation with a scarf and hat! The boys and girls worked as a team and did a great job taking turns.
The Toddlers are learning about winter this month. The boys and girls explored the “iceberg” with penguins, sea lions, and polar bears. The ice was cold to touch, but they loved to watch it melt!
