This week:
Cognitive Development
Through the process of elimination, Ian successfully placed the shapes in the correct postion. Bravo!
Puzzles help develop basic skills such as shape recognition, concentration, goal setting, patience and a sense of achievement. Puzzles help develop hand-eye co-ordination and fine motor skills due to the precise nature of matching each piece exactly.
Sensory: Recycled Cellophane Paper on Black Paper!
When children use glue, they are getting a great proprioceptive experience. They're gaining great hand strengthening benefits. Children are also developing their visual spatial and visual motor skills.
Welcome to the 1A Classroom!
Two new friends joined the 1A Classroom. Welcome, Anthony and Valen!
*We know you will have a year full of discoveries and adventures.
We are so excited to be here with you on this journey.
Spanish!
While washing our hands, we introduced new Spanish vocabulary!
-soap ( jabón)
-water ( agua)
-wash your hands (lava tus manos)
-Rainbow Parachute in the Gym/ Cognitive Development/Color Recognition
Today we used the exciting parachute to practice our colors in Spanish!
“Friends, what colors do you see?”
-Rojo (red)
-azul ( blue )
- verde ( green )
-amarillo (yellow)
The activity provoked language!
The 1A friends were heard saying “I see it”, “red”, “azul” and “wow”
Great job!
Cognitive Development/Language Development/ Social interaction
Pressing hands and arms into the paint, and smearing the stimulating medium across the white canvas Paper!
During this painting activity, the children listened to slow tempo classical music.
-Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, motor skills, problem-solving skills, and social interaction.
Thank you, 1A families.
Have a lovely weekend.
