"Learning is experience, everything else is just information"- Albert Einstein

 Mrs. Neil read us the story, "Crysanthemum" and we learned about being Heart Smoothers. Ask us about it!

 

  

 

 

We did a lot of fine motor skill development this week. We put nuts and bolts together, ripped and crumpled tissue paper (to be used for an art activity down the road), scooped beads into cups with tiny spoons, and cut playdough apart. Check out the serious look on some of those hard-at-work faces!

 

 

 We learn best through play, as supported by LOADS of research (including a great article about play in nature just posted on the "Parent Resources" page). Here we can be seen building, creating, exploring, investigating, experimenting, testing and of course, getting in a brick boat to escape the looming lava!

We took some time in the sunshine to explore our shadows and the magic of sidewalk chalk. If you want to see what we did with our shadows, you'll have to come and check out our Open House this coming Thursday evening :)
