“GETTING TO KNOW PERSONALITIES”

Having the children make fun and silly faces for our camera gave us a sweet glimpse into each child’s unique personality! They had so much fun choosing their favorite silly pose and showing off their creativity. It was wonderful to see their smiles, laughter, and playful personalities shine through. We hope you enjoy these adorable moments as much as we did! Have a fun-filled day! 😊

September is Hispanic Heritage Month, and we have been celebrating by bringing the beauty of the Spanish language and Latin culture into our classroom! The children enjoy singing the days of the week in Spanish, along with familiar songs such as La Araña Pequeñita, A la Rurru Rurru Niño, Brilla, Brilla Estrellita, and other classic Spanish children’s songs. It has been wonderful to see their smiles and excitement as they learn through music, movement, and play!

Play is an important part of how young children learn and grow. Through play, children learn by touching, feeling, seeing, listening, and using a combination of their senses to explore the world around them. As they play, they are developing skills in many areas, including math, science, language, social-emotional development, problem-solving, and everyday life skills. What may look like “just play” is actually meaningful learning that helps children build confidence, curiosity, creativity, and a strong foundation for future learning.

Children are always learning through play, whether they are playing indoors in the classroom or exploring outdoors. Every play experience gives children opportunities to discover, experiment, ask questions, and develop new skills. Play is truly an important part of every child’s learning and development!

Art, reading, exploring and more in Room 5!

Last week we started going to the art studio with Ms. Marshall! We are exploring a different shape and using a different medium each week. This week we colored a square using crayons.

On our patio, Ms. Gwen put out some different plants for our kiddos to explore and some Rosemary herb to see, smell and touch!

We have been busy in our class these past few weeks, exploring play-dough, sensory bins, building towers, water play, doing art and more!

✨ Little Moments, Lots of Fun & New Beginnings ✨

We started our August adventures with a few tears, big emotions, and lots of new faces and experiences. 🥹❤️ But little by little, those emotions turned into smiles, giggles, curiosity, and lots of fun!

Throughout our days, we explored, played, learned new things, and discovered our classroom together. We enjoyed sensory play, practiced our fine and gross motor skills, created fun art, read books, danced, played outside, and explored all kinds of new activities. 🎨📚🫧🧸

Every day brought a new little adventure, and it has been so sweet watching our classroom become a place where we feel more comfortable, confident, and ready to have fun together. Knowing that our little ones are happy, cared for, and safe in our classroom makes our days even more special. ❤️

Here’s to all the little moments, lots of fun, and many more adventures ahead! ✨🌈

Our First Fire Drill Practice! 🧯

We had our very first fire drill practice, and our friends did a wonderful job! First, we practiced attendance by calling each friend’s name and having them say, “Here!” Next, everyone grabbed a color on our walking rope and practiced our chant: “Hold the rope, don’t let go!” 😆

Back-to-School in Room 1 – August

August was a wonderful month of new beginnings, friendships, and joyful learning in Room 1! Our children settled into their new classroom routines, explored their environment, and enjoyed getting to know their teachers and friends. From art and hands-on activities to outdoor play, music & movement, Bible lessons, and small groups, every day brought opportunities to learn, play, discover, and grow together. We are so thankful for a blessed start to the new school year and look forward to all that God has in store for our Room 1 family!
