Social Emotional development:Social interaction
We stared off the week by sharing a beautiful moment together as we welcome our new friends Juliette and Anthony by singing our favorites Spanish songs during circle time.
Circle time encourages listening, talking, and sharing among the children and modeling opportunities for the teacher. Also, it encourages the development of social skills by providing daily, structured social interactions.
Fine motor/Gross motor skills
The infant A students explored clay, they were fascinated to manipulate, squish, squeeze and push the piece of clay with their small hands.
Clay helps children develop their large and small :muscles-improving dexterity. it also fosters eye-hand coordination and builds a child’s ability to focus and builds attention span as well.
Sebastian Mehtani leaned against the classroom furniture, supporting his weight and balance as he manipulated the learning materials on top of the shelf. Sebastian is strengthening his legs as he supports his weight, while manipulating the materials . He is also practicing and strengthening his balance. This is the beginning of cruising and soon first independent steps.

This week we had a lot of fun exploring different sensory activities. One of the provocations that the students explored was clay. They loved it!
Home Fun: Parents please make sure to take home the clay, that will be placed in your child’s cubby. We would love for you to explore the clay with your little ones and take pictures of their reactions. Have fun!
Enjoy your weekend!
