PRESCHOLAR WITH MR BRIAN 

Enrichment classes this week has been all about Alaska! Pre-Scholar Enrichment focuses on four subjects every month, which are art, culture, movement and science. Mr. Brian helped us make walruses for, we learned about fishing in Alaska for movement, we did cotton ball igloos for culture and we did a snow foam sensory play for science. We love opening our minds to new learning adventure with our enrichment program. 

 

Learning by Demonstration 

It was a very busy day in Toddler one so Ms Dalilah wanted to do an activity that would keep the toddlers busy and calm but fun. She had all the toddlers come on the play carpet and took out the Grippies Builders. Grippies Builders are sensory and magnetics pieces that are great for exploring. She then demonstrated how to use the grippes. Demonstrations are a way to encourage and engage the toddlers in amore complete way. Also, toddlers learn more through observation and with demonstration we get more engagement.  

There are different forms on demonstration activities. You can use blocks, legos, or even cups, anything that you can play and demonstrate with. Being involve with the kids more on ground level is great! 

 

 Healthy VS Unhealthy Food 

January is Fitness Fanatics month! All month long we will learning on ways to keep us healthy and strong. Today we learned about healthy VS unhealthy food. Some were surprised that candy is not a healthy food. 😆 It was fun teaching our friends what are good food that will keep us healthy and strong. 

It was raining on Monday so it was a perfect time to also teach our friends that it is important to still exercise our bodies. There are different ways to keep our bodies busy and we chose to do an indoor obstacle course.
