Morning Play

🍉 I See Watermelon! 🍉
Today we explored all things watermelon! The children practiced their fine motor skills by hammering pins into a watermelon, experimenting with banging hard and soft to discover which method worked best. We also worked on our scooping skills by scooping out watermelon and enjoying a delicious, healthy treat. Learning through hands-on exploration made for a fun and tasty day! :::

Today was filled with dramatic play, fine motor practice, and lots of learning through play! 🌟

Today was all about watermelon! 🍉 We practiced recognizing the letter W by dotting the letter W for watermelon. The children also worked on number recognition counting as they jumped on watermelon numbers from 0–4. Fine motor skills were strengthened by rolling a watermelon, and we ended our lesson with a fun sensory activity, squishing pieces of watermelon and exploring its texture.

This morning, we took a deep dive back into our fish lesson! The children enjoyed fishing for colorful fish, counting goldfish as they placed them into their fish bowls, and matching fish to the correct colored fish bowl. To finish our ocean adventure, the children created their own tissue paper fish masterpieces, exploring creativity while strengthening their fine motor skills. What a fun-filled morning under the sea! 🐟🦀🐚

🌟 Every touch, reach, and smile is a learning moment! Our infants spent the day building curiosity, strengthening motor skills, and exploring their world through play. 🧸✨

Today, the children became little scientists, using their magnifying glasses to explore and discover the world of plants and insects 🌼🦋.

The young and older toddlers spent their morning outdoors participating in blended lesson activities. Some children enjoyed fishing for magnetic fish and matching them to the correct colored fish bowls, while others explored nature by searching for insects. The children practiced problem-solving, color recognition, fine motor skills, and observation as they learned through play and exploration.
