Good Afternoon!

In the art center, we enjoyed making mono prints this morning.  We used our fingers and a variety of tools to create textures and pictures on a paint tray.  Then, we laid paper over the top of the painting, creating mono prints.  Some kids made five or six prints and absolutely loved the process!  Art is a critical component for brain development in young children, which is why we believe kids are so naturally drawn to it.  It strengthens executive function, improves spacial temporal reasoning (later used for math), builds fine motor skills (for writing) and grows divergent creative thinking abilities.  These kinds of art processes also provide a rich integrative sensory experience, helping to unify the brain improving the capacity for focused attention  in children.  All this development provides a strong foundation for future academic success!

Yesterday we explored several activities designed to encourage counting and letter recognition.  Kids worked on associating numerals with groups of objects they had counted.  Others sorted letters into our letter trays.  Those that knew lowercase letters sorted them as well.

We have spent so much time outdoors over the past few days!  Everyone has been getting wonderful exercise and fresh air and sunshine!

Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with fresh apple slices.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled egg cups with cheese, homemade oatmeal apple muffins, fresh watermelon/pineapple and fresh peppers/cucumbers.

Happy Monday!

This morning, we offered a literacy activity at the round table.  We added the names of classmates along with last names for older friends along with letter tiles so kids could choose to work on learning their own names or the names of classmates.
