Playing outside while the weather is still so nice and beautiful!
During group time we introduced the letter H.
The toddlers love singing our alphabet song and having the letter visit their head!
We sing, “There’s a H on my head, on my head”
“There’s a H on my head, on my head.”
“There’s a H on my head, and /h/ is what it says.”
“There’s a H on my head, on my head.”
Then we repeat the song.
During group time we also learned more about the square.
We read “Square”
and talked about square objects in our classroom.
Today the toddlers cooked Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins!
We dumped in all the ingredients.
Then we blended it all together.
Baked them for 30 minutes.
And it was time to enjoy!!
You can find the recipe we followed at http://www.pbs.org/food/recipes/pumpkin-cream-cheese-muffins/?print=1&p=4042.
Last week the toddlers painted with a feather. Today they added a comb, a beak and a wattle to create a
beautiful blue chicken!
In our discovery tubs the toddlers found farm animals, corn, straw, birdseed and tongs.
When kids use tongs, they have to learn to “separate” the two sides of their hands (thumb/index finger side and middle/ring/pinky finger side), which is a great for developing hand skills, necessary for cutting with scissors and writing with pencils. Tong play can begin as early as toddlerhood and can progress to more refined use of kiddie chopsticks and tiny tweezers as kids progress through elementary school. It’s never too late to have fun with tongs! *

Today the toddlers discovered our new November center the Farmer’s Market!
Today for snack the toddlers created their very own “mummy pizza!”
First, they spooned on the pizza sauce.
Next, they added strips of string cheese.
Then we baked them for five to seven minutes at 400 degrees.
Finally, after adding eyes it was time to eat!
