Our Learning Adventures
This week we were excited to explore some
aspects of nature such as pinecones, worms,
sand, water, and a very large toad! We also
talked about our shoes as the children
explored books and the dress up items
regarding this topic. The humid weather
also provided ample opportunity to splash
in our new water table and to plant some
grass seed. The infants and toddlers later
joined the preschoolers for music time with
instruments and plenty of dancing! We were
all excited to sing songs about butterflies and
to observe the Monarch that was released just
yesterday morning!
Even with such a short week our class
participated in baking some delicious
blueberry muffins! The children were excellent
helpers in pouring, mixing, and eventually
tasting our creation!
Expressive Communication: Children
demonstrate the ability to understand and convey
