STEM Learning Through Sensory Bins

Children in Room 3 spent countless minutes investigating the new multi-level sensory experience in the Outdoor Classroom during yard time today. Multiple children busily went back and forth, carrying cups and bowls filled with corn kernels over to the gutter ‘slides’. The corn rolled down the gutters, got pushed into the slot in the box, then fell to the next gutter to make its way down the line. Kids delighted as they prodded, pushed, scooped, and poured the corn. All of these activities create stronger connections in science as they learn measurement, gravity, engineering, and more.

Fall Fun in Room 4

Friends in Room 4 have been busily learning about all things fall: pumpkins, apples, planting, harvest, and more! They have been learning to use their fine motor skills to sort beautiful fall colored jewels, they are growing celery stalks from celery stems, and they have been carefully putting together some crafty “quilted clothes” for a scarecrow that will be hung in the front lobby.

“Hay” Rides for Room 3

Room 3 friends enjoyed “hay” rides around the yard as boys and girls alike jumped in the wagon for some free-wheeling fun. Mr. Tim serenaded the group with some songs on the ukulele.

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

Friends in Room 5 have been delving into the wonderful world of pumpkins! Baking Pumpkin Delight and creating funny-faced pumpkins are just part of the fun we’ve had.

We are Falling for Fall Art

The season of fall has fallen into the finger tips of our young artists. As they paint with plastic bottle tops, composing circle leaves onto their tree, they embrace the earth tones of brown and orange.
