Welcome Back!

We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Today the children have been working with our knobbed cylinder lesson. This lesson helps children learn about visual discrimination. At first children complete the lesson using trial and error but gradually they become better at estimating size and volume and can match the cylinder to the correct hole. The Knobbed Cylinder lesson also helps children strengthen their fine motor skills as they handle the knobs and also helps develop hand-eye coordination. Enjoy this video of sweet Nora working with the Knobbed Cylinder lesson.

See you tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

We would like to give a warm welcome to our newest friends Julian and Sylvia! They have been transitioning into Movement I from Nursery II and have had an awesome transition.

Have a nice weekend!

Happy Friday Eve!

This morning in circle time we took turns working with our color seal lesson. The children really enjoy working with the color seals because they are specially weighted so they are able to manipulate the seal without it tipping over. The children are encouraged to place or toss the rings onto the seal this helps develop muscle control, hand eye coordination, and it also presents the opportunity for us to practice taking turns.

We hope everyone enjoys their day!

Happy Wednesday and a very Happy 1st Birthday to our new friend Sylvia!

She has been visiting us from Nursery II and is having a blast in her new classroom. Here is a picture of her working with one of our posting lessons.

Hello!

Whether it be with a spoon or with their hands our friends are big on feeding themselves. Self-feeding skills are important because they help develop confidence, independence, hand grasp, hand-eye coordination, and sensory processing skills. Enjoy this picture of sweet Leigh enjoying her breakfast –
