![]() Exploring the Letter I, Arctic Animals, and Early Math Fun! This week in our early learning classroom, we dove deep into the letter I and i while exploring arctic animals, ice, and hands-on STEM and pre math activities. As part of our early childhood education program, we love introducing new concepts through play, science, math, and lots of creative projects that meet the Missouri Early Learning Standards. Here’s a peek at what we accomplished and how each activity supports children’s development in a preschool, pre k, and pre kindergarten setting. Literacy & Language: The Letter I and i.
Arctic-Themed Sensory Play & Science
Number Learning and Early Math
Fine Motor Skills & Creative Arts
Social-Emotional Skills: Taking Turns & Sharing
Why Playful Learning?Our classroom activities are always engaging and fun, ensuring children learn through hands-on exploration. By embedding literacy, math, science, and social emotional skills in playful tasks, children stay excited about learning and build a strong foundation for future academic success. This holistic approach also aligns with the Missouri Early Learning Standards, ensuring we support every aspect of a child’s growth—cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. Whether it’s sorting shapes, practicing number learning, or creating ice sculptures, our goal is to foster a love of early learning through discovery and wonder. We can’t wait to see how our young learners continue to develop pre math and letter I recognition skills in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for more updates on our preschool, pre k, and pre kindergarten adventures as we explore new themes, stories, and creative projects together!

We've started a new YouTube channel for our little learners, feel free to share this with your young ones, or use it in your preschool. Check back for new content each week and remember www.PreKwithme.com for learning toys, curriculum and free downloadable coloring pages. https://youtu.be/-GA-LqomYT Polar Adventures in Preschool: Exploring Winter Wonders and the Letter C (Aligned with the Missouri Early Learning Standards) This week in our preschool classroom, we embarked on a journey through snowy worlds, arctic animals, and the ever-important letter C. From hands-on science experiments to fun art projects, our little learners exercised their creativity, practiced important language and literacy skills, and built upon their growing sense of curiosity—all central elements of the Missouri Early Learning Standards. We also spent time focusing on ABC fundamentals, ensuring the children grow comfortable with sounding alphabet letters and identifying alphabet letters in everyday activities. Cozy Winter Storytime We began our week by snuggling up with four wonderful winter-themed books:
Focusing on the Letter C Our deep dive into the letter C also supported Language and Literacy goals and tied back to the ABC sequence. We practiced:
Polar Animal Discoveries Inspired by our storybooks, we explored the wintery world of polar animals. We learned about:
Arts & Crafts with a Snowy Twist Our art time also promoted both creativity and fine motor development (Physical Development standard):
Ice Melting Experiment Science and discovery came to life as we observed ice melting:
Looking Ahead We’re so proud of how eager and engaged all of our learners were this week! By reading winter stories, examining polar animals, experimenting with ice, and focusing on the letter C, we covered a range of developmental areas emphasized by the Missouri Early Learning Standards—language, literacy, science, creativity, and physical skills. Our continued emphasis on ABC helps our preschoolers build a solid foundation for pre reading and pre math as they grow. How can you support your child's learning? Keep the learning going at home by spotting the letter C around the house, reading a favorite winter story together, or even setting up a simple ice experiment in your own kitchen. We can’t wait to see what new adventures the children will embark on next week! Thank you for continuing to support our classroom and our commitment to meeting Missouri’s Early Learning Standards, one playful and inquisitive step at a time! We hope our ABC focus, combined with fun winter activities, inspires continued curiosity and a love of learning. |
