In the Toddler room, the children have been going over the shape of the month… a Circle! During group time, the boys and girls have been looking around the room for circles. Today, Ms. Bree-Anna read the book “What is Round?”. It highlights objects in everyday life that are the shape of a circle. For example a nickel or a balloon! The children also used their fine motor skills to paint a circle yellow. Go on a scavenger hunt around your house and look for all of the round objects!
Despite the dreary rainy day yesterday, the Toddler room was still buzzing with fun and excitement! The children had a blast exploring at the sand/water table. They used their fine motor skills to dig deep to find treasures underneath the styrofoam peanuts. The also socialized and practiced sharing, as they took turns using the table. The boys and girls also had a blast practicing their gross motor skills to jump and skip on bubble wrap. The popping sounds caused lots of giggles in our room!
The toddlers are working away in their new classroom! Learning happens naturally throught play! It is an integeral part of language development and expressing feelings. The boys and girls are exploring new books and using their fine motor skills to mold playdoh and stack blocks.
We had a great first week of school in the Toddler Room! We were so excited to explore all of the fun new toys and centers throughout the room. The boys and girls spent part of their day practicing sitting for group time and listening to a story! They loved the book 10 Little Rubber Ducks by Eric Carle. The children enjoyed pushing the “quack” button at the end of the story! The Toddlers had a great start to the week and are already transitioning smoothly into their new environment!
We kicked the year off right at our Back to School Carnival! It was great to see everyone again after a long summer. We’ll see you very soon…
Today, on our last day of “Let’s Pretend!”, our little campers learned about pirates! They made eye patches and parrots that sit on their shoulders! The little campers decorated the parrot’s feathers with sequins.
Look at all of our pirates!!
Yesterday, on the fourth day of “Let’s Pretend!”, our little campers pretended to be athletes! All of the girls wanted to be ballerinas and make tu-tus while the boys wanted to be football players and make football wreaths. The girls had their hands painted pink!
That tickles!!
I dressed perfectly for the day!
The boys had their hands painted orange and black. Hopefully their parents are all Bengals fans!
That's my handprint!
Yesterday, on the third day of “Let’s Pretend!”, our little campers read Maisy Dresses Up by Lucy Cousins. One of the characters dresses up as a king, and our little campers wanted to do the same! First, each made a crown!
Then, each little camper decorated their own shield!
It was fun to watch the little kings and queens walk around the classroom wearing their crowns and shields!
Today, our little campers learned about dinosaurs! After reading a story, they pretended to be dinosaurs and “roared” around the room! They decorated felt dinosaurs with sequins and buttons. Magnets were placed on the back of the dinos so they can hang nicely on your refridgerators!
Watching Miss Heather put the glue on!
I like this one!
My dinosaur is so sparkly!
"Mommy will love it!"
Yesterday on our first day of “Let’s Pretend!” our little campers pretended to be firefighters! During story time, they learned all about firefighters. They noticed that firefighters in the story have dalmatian dogs that live at the fire station, and they made dalmatians! They used their thumbprints to make spots!
The dalmatians were mounted onto black paper after they dried! Next, our little campers made badges! They decorated them with stickers.
