This week the 1A friends practiced their balance and walking skills, investigated sand and clay, went for a walk around the Tribeca neighborhood, created leaf collages, enjoyed cooking class, Spanish class, and music class. We also enjoyed exploring 2D photos of our friends faces.
Busy Feet- Practice Makes Perfect!
Blake and her friend Gus have been practicing taking their first steps.
They are now trusting their balance :)
Learning to take steps is one of the most important achievements for a toddler. It is a big step towards independence!
-We are very proud of them. Most importantly, they are so proud of themselves as they practice.
-Blake showed beautiful balance standing up independently.
-Gus took two to three independent steps.
Great job, friends!
Spanish Class!
Circle Time & Puppets!
During circle time we added a few puppets, as we sang some of our favorite songs:
”Twinkle Twinkle”- star puppets
”Oh Mr. Sun”- Sun Puppets
”Five Little Speckled Frogs”- frog puppets
The 1A friends love holding the props- offering them a great visual aid.
-Puppets can sing, dance, speak in rhyme, touch, laugh, or cry.
By capturing the child’s attention, they strengthen listening skills and vocabulary development.
Puppets are also a valuable means for promoting oral language skills and confidence.
Thank you, 1A families, for coming in and working so hard on the Pete the cat costumes. They are all amazing!
Thank you!
Have a great weekend.
