Today we traced ovals, use dot markers to trace letter Ii and the first letter of their names.  We also painted with frozen paint and drew self portraits.  As a group we searched for letter Ii and used dot markers.  They are all doing so well and having so much fun! 

We've had some fun with our ice cream shop! They have made ice cream cones, banana splits and bowls full of ice cream.
​Children learn through imagining and doing. Children are always using their imaginations. Have you ever seen your child pick up a block and pretend it's a train?  They are using an object to represent something else while giving it action and motion. Pretend play is not as simple as it may seem. The process of pretending builds skills in many essential developmental areas. Dramatic play supports social and emotional skills, math and literacy, fine motor skills and so much more.  Let their imaginations run free! 

Sensory bins provide children with the opportunity to learn and explore through hands on play.  They can improve fine motor skills through pouring, scooping, pinching, and stirring.  Sensory bins also promote conversations with their peers and teacher.  This is our “Back to School” sensory bin.
