Center Time

Many people ask why we have centers? Do they really need to play that long?

As I sit and listen to the children as they work through the centers I see all the things they are learning.

They are learning to get along with others, to plan how they are going to plan and compromise when two people have different ideas, they are playing imaginatively and playing together with others. They are working on fine motor skills, making and creating and playing in ways I have never thought possible. They are learning to clean up when they play and to make sure to do their fair share. And all through this they are talking. Back and forth, discussing and making plans.

I am proud of the gains that the have made already and I love to see them blossoming into exciting little learners.

Enjoy your weekend.

Back to School

After a much too short summer we ready for Kindergarten. I have started to meet with all of the students and their enthusiasm is infectious. First day of Kindergarten will be Tuesday August 31st. Be sure to send your child some healthy snacks as they will be ravenous! Please feel free to contact me at home or school if you have any questions. I will be adding pictures throughout the year and adding posts when we are doing interesting things. I am excited for this year!
