The toddlers had a terrific time exploring the classroom and playground, meeting new friends, and learning through play!

It was a great first day for our toddlers! They had fun exploring their new classroom, meeting new friends, and playing outside on the playground!

Looking forward to a great year ahead of us with this sweet group of kids!

We had such a great first day of school! It’s going to be so fun to watch how they explore their new surroundings and what they grow to love most about school 🙂

Below you can see pictures of your children enjoying their first day with their new friends!

Here’s to an AMAZING 2020-2021 school year ahead!

The toddlers used their senses to explore and learn about zoo animals this week.  The distance learning packet included a one to one correspondence mat for sorting animal crackers, animal masks to use during their classroom live zoom,  Z is for Zebra materials to complete the alphabet, and zoo animal movement activity cards!

Our ocean study included a cupcake wrapper craft, sorting goldfish by color, a video recording of the book Swimmy, and some “growing” ocean animals to place in the sensory tub of water.

The distance packets this week also included five little ducks for retelling the song, materials to make a frog craft, and lily pads for hopping to engage our toddlers in learning about pond animals.

We rounded out the year by sending home rainbow waterbeads, toddler trail mix suggestions, lacing necklace materials, name building materials, and paint to complete the end of year personalized color book!

Thank you to all the parents for helping us to help your toddlers grow and learn.  Thumbs up to year full of learning, fun, and smiles!

Rainbow rice is the new sensory material for our sensory bins.  Fun exploration for our toddlers (and siblings too)!

Our Shape Review included lacing button shapes, shape match- up mat, shape collage, shape cards complete with an interactive zoom to give live feedback, shape stories, and more!

Our live zoom also included some gross motor bean bag fun!

Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a classic favorite for all.  I read the story via video and retold the story using magnets.  The toddlers were provided with materials to craft their own caterpillar and fun temporary tattoos too!
