Getting Ready For Spring
We continued our alphabet lessons this week and learned about the letters E and F. For our craft this week, we made handprint blue birds! The first day of Spring is just around the corner, but the spring weather is here already! We took advantage of the warm, sunny weather and spent as much as […]
We love Violin Music
Toddler Room 1 this week listened to classical Violin Music to represent our letter V. We colored our brown violins this week and added strings to them. In music class, we were able to play the harp which also had a classical sound to it. Since we talked about the letter V this week, we […]
Terrific Week
This week we focused on the letter T. Some of our favorite words are train (Thomas), truck and tiger! We did sensory “touch” bags to practice writing the letter t. They are large ziplock bags with different colored paint inside. You can tape them to the window, so the light will shine through and let […]
Rocks Rock!
As it turns out, lessons on volcanoes and earthquakes lead naturally into discussions about geology. This week we “rocked” it out with a fascinating study of all the different rock formations that come from our earth’s crust. Some friends brought rocks in that we washed and put on display. Other rocks we used for art […]
Leaping For Leap Day!
This week the toddlers all celebrated their very first Leap Day ever! We colored pictures of leaping frogs and had lots of fun leaping all around all day long! We are continuing to learn our ABCs and learned about the letter D this week! We also made a fun ABC craft for our art project […]
Toddlers love Unicorns
We changed our bulletin board for the month to represent Spring Time beginning. This week in Toddler Room 1, we went over the letter U! Unicorns was our toddlers favorite topic! We read a book on unicorns and talked about how they were like horses but in bright beautiful colors and magical. Our toddlers enjoyed […]
Leaping into March
Last week CH 1-2 focused on the letter s. We listened to many different sounds from nature and some of our favorite automobiles. We also played a game called salty, sweet or sour. Each child tried all three flavors and had to decide which s adjective fit the food. They discussed among themselves until they […]
Growing and Learning in CH 1-1
Last week was so much fun in our Children’s House 1-1 classroom. We enjoyed making wiggling “snakes” out of paper plates and green paint, that went home with all of our friends. This week we said goodbye to the letter “S” and welcomed the letter “T”. We made turtles out of paper bowls and cardboard […]
Volcanoes and Vegetation
What a crazy fun week! Our new friend Samuel has a real passion for volcanoes, earthquakes, and other major disasters so I got a bunch of like minded books from the library to learn as much as we could and then decided to build our own. We also got to examine a hunk of obsidian […]
ABCs
This week we have started learning our ABCs in the Toddler 2 class! This week we practiced recognizing the letters A, B and C written out and learned about different words that started with each of the letters! We had a few rainy days this week, so we had fun playing with blocks and Play-Doh […]
