Even our bitty ones get to build those little pincer grasps, create with colors, mix paints, and experience Creative Arts through play. We simply put them in their highchairs and let them determine how long and how much they want to participate. This is vital to proper development and our mixed-age approach to learning provides LOTS of sensory awareness and practice through play. Our curriculum partners at Mother Goose Time understand and promote this approach to learning and provide materials for every child in our group ages 9 mos-5 years! "Art has the role in education of helping children become like themselves instead of more like everyone else." - Sydney Gurewitz Clemens Mix in some Science!![]() We couldn't resist the opportunity to create some baking soda volcanoes with our home made dough, vinegar, and baking soda! This is the recipe we use for our ever popular homemade dough. We add glitter, sparkles, confetti, food coloring, etc. depending on our current monthly themes. It is by far the very BEST recipe we have EVER used!! Materials
And a dash of Emergent Reading...This week we studied the letters "V" and "E: for volcano and we practiced using it in our word puzzles. We found the letter sounds at the beginning, middle, and end of the words. This helped us understand the how the letters sound and what it means for a word to "start with" a certain letter. Dino Tic-Tac-Toe!! We added a new game to take home!Our Dino Make and Take game began as a fine motor skill building activity that was quickly embraced as our little learners excitedly understood that they would be taking THIS game home to share with moms and dads! We carefully cut along the dotted lines and asked the teachers and our friends for help when we felt we needed it. We worked diligently to create our rectangular pieces. Some needed a bit of tape, but that just makes the process even more fun!! Why do we send these seemingly simple games home?In closing this week, I leave you with this...And that wraps up our month of playing with the dinosaurs at Woolsey Academy.
