Today’s outdoor provocation was full of color, creativity, and a little mindfulness! The children explored watercolor bubbles and were so excited to notice the beautiful colors appearing as they blew bubbles through the wands.
As we explored, we practiced taking big, calm, deep breaths to help create the perfect bubble. This playful experience supported fine motor development as the children dipped and maneuvered their wands, while also encouraging self-regulation, breath control, and social-emotional development.

Ms. Emily harvested some beautifully smelling flowers and herbs , so we put some in a container with water, arranged on the table with our harvested mini pumpkin from last week and voila! We had a recipe for some still life painting. Still life drawing helps young children develop observational skills, fine motor control, and cognitive focus by translating real, physical objects onto paper. It also helps with noticing finer details, since you are constantly observing when illustrating what you see.

The toddler class loves our wind tunnel, and we have had many experiments going on with it. We were practicing our coordination as we explored how different objects moved through the wind. The children enjoyed making predictions, testing their ideas, and watching what happened. It was a fun, hands-on way to explore movement, cause and effect, and early science concepts!

Bringing yoga into the classroom supports children’s physical development, concentration, self-regulation, and body awareness. Through movement, breathing, and fun poses, children learn to calm their bodies, focus their minds, and build confidence—all while having fun!

Bubble Pop Art:🫧🎨: we created art by blowing bubbles! The children were engaged in this activity, using their fine motor skills to also make stamps with the cookie cutters as well as mixing the paint bowls together. We made a beautiful masterpiece as a class. This activity supports creative arts expression as the children work at their own pace as well as fine motor skills as they use their cookie cutters to create art and as they pour the water color back and forth in-between bowls.

Children are developing social-emotional skills by learning to share, take turns, communicate their feelings, and interact positively with classmates. Through play and daily routines, they are building friendships, practicing empathy, and learning to solve conflicts. Our children love to interact together and making funny faces at eachother

Miss Emily came outside to check on the pumpkin plant growing on our playground. She pointed out to the children how there are a bunch of ants inside the flowers on the plant and that they will help the flower turn into a pumpkin! Each child got a turn to look at the flower to spot the ants. :ant::jack_o_lantern: This was a natural moment to talk with the children about the life cycle of pumpkin plant strengthening science knowledge and skills.

We had so much fun during our professional development week! We wrapped up our first day with a meaningful session of self-reflection and hands-on creativity, crafting our very own kokedama - a Japanese art form featuring plants wrapped in a mud and peat mixture and live moss, which we adapted to create a fun, interactive experience

Today in our Reggio-inspired classroom, one of our students explored round wooden pieces—stacking them, arranging them, and discovering how they balance. What seems simple becomes meaningful learning as children experiment, problem-solve, and create through open-ended materials.
We love watching curiosity guide their play and learning each day.
