Sensory Shapes!

There are so many ways to learn! While talking about shapes after singing our shapes song, we decided to explore shapes with lots of different senses. We used our hands to touch our shapes and feel the texture of cream. We used our ears to hear the sound the shapes made as we moved them around the table. And we used our sight to watch the shapes transform as we explored them! 

Which shape is your favorite?

Wow! This shape feels mushy now!

My shape is flat now!

I made more circles with my circle!

Hmm... I'm not sure about this. I may leave my shape. 

Sensory Shapes are FUN!

Here's a piece of my heart! 

My triangle made one circle and one rectangle!

Ms. Ashley, what shape is my hand? 

Sensory development is key to developing awareness, balance and creativity. Come play with us!

Journal Writing

To practice our fine motor skills, comprehension, artistic skills, and use our imagination, we often let our littles write in their own personal journal. They choose what to write, what mediums to use, and they get to share their stories with friends! 

Check it out!

Red and Yellow are Contrasting Colors! Can you guess what my journal entry is about? 

The letter of the week is "P" so I chose PURPLE!

Orange is the color of my favorite fruit, oranges! :)

Trees are SO TALL! 

PINK UNICORNS!

Red is ROJO, and we read a story about a red dog!

We love to see the confidence that activities such as this can bring. They become more proficient in their public speaking skills, learn new words from others and feel acceptance from the group! 

We can't wait for another journal day! 

Healthy Infants

To wrap up our Fitness Fanatics month, we created a healthy food bin for our older infants to explore and we read stories about healthy foods to our youngest infants!

This activity builds fine motor/grasping skills, uses visuals to assist with memory development and promotes healthy early habits!

YUM! Tomatoes, onions and cheese! That makes spaghetti!

Reading to infants fosters attachment to caregiver and builds early language development and memory processing. Thank you, Ms. Krystal!
