During group time this week, the Toddlers practiced sorting things that go! Each child took a turn placing a vehicle on the big magnetic board. The boys and girls love when it’s their turn to participate in group!
Throughout the month of April, the Toddlers will be learning about things that fly. We will talk bugs, birds, airplanes, and rockets. All of our centers have been switched out to match our new theme! We even have a few bumble bees hanging from our ceiling. The boys and girls have enjoyed exploring their new room!
The Toddlers will be learning all about pets this month. The dramatic play area has turned into a pet nursery. The boys and girls can feed their pets a bottle, carry them around in a carrying case, and rock them in the rocking chair. The block center is filled with lots of pink blocks to build towers with. We have lots of new pet puzzles and sorting games at the manipulative center. At the sensory tub, the children can search for pet mice in newspaper. We are going to have a fun month!
We might even get a pet of our own…
One of our learning objectives this month is the concept of top, middle, and bottom. We decided to build a felt snowman to go over this objective. The children enjoy building the snowman by adding parts of his body, adding a face, and finishing off their creation with a scarf and hat! The boys and girls worked as a team and did a great job taking turns.
The Toddler classroom has turned into a Winter Wonderland. There is “snow” and diggers in the sensory tub, lots of fun new manipulatives, and arctic animals in the block center. The boys and girls enjoyed all of the new activities around the room!
One of our objectives this month is the concept of fast and slow. During group time, the children make clapping patterns, sing songs, and do finger plays fast and slow. Today the boys and girls used this concept during indoor gross motor time. We opened up a large area in the room and let the children move the giant trucks fast and slow. They had a blast going fast and “slamming” on the breaks!
Today the Toddlers helped decorate our room with festive lollipops! The boys and girls took turns painting rainbow colors all over the paper plates. They turned out so cute, we decided to put them on display in our room!
Over Thanksgiving break, our room transformed into a winter candy land! There is candy hanging from the ceiling and . We have lots of new centers for the boys and girls to explore. The children enjoyed building towers with big blocks, baking cookies in the kitchen, and pushing new trucks all over the room.
