Check out some of the highlights from our day!

We loved exploring in the sensory table today! 








We worked together in the Doctor Office today.  As the children use their imaginations to play they develop social skills, emerging mathematical abilities, mastery of early literacy concepts, and self-regulation. 


















During Jesus time, we reviewed the story of Noah and the Ark.  We remembered that God keeps His promises!

Since there have been a limited amount of nice days lately, we decided to take a longer time outside and enjoy the weather!  The children practiced positive conflict resolution, refined their large motor skills, and even helped the younger PDO children! 

We will spend much of Wednesday outside as well before the rainy days on Thursday and Friday.  Be sure to put sunscreen on your child before coming to school to avoid sunburns. :) 











We had a special popsicle snack outside! 









We practiced counting and one to one correspondence as we 'planted' the correct number of beans listed.  This activity also provides an opportunity to practice number recognition! 







We sorted different types of small beans.  This activity provides a time for fine motor growth and an awareness of similarities and differences between objects.  This lays the foundation for further math learning!

During Jesus time, we reviewed the story of Noah and the Ark.  We sang songs praising God too!  We remembered that God keeps His promises!

Since there have been a limited amount of nice days lately, we decided to take a 'raincheck' on our planned centers today and enjoy the weather outside!  The children practiced positive conflict resolution, refined their fine motor skills, and even helped the younger PDO children!
