I drew 2 Christmas trees and had B decorate each with the corresponding dot stickers (can you tell I’m rolling in dozens of new colors of dot stickers? 🤣). Honestly, I hadn’t planned on doing both in the same day, and I wouldn’t have except that she requested “another Christmas tree.” Thankfully, I had one! 😅 One tree worked on numbers 1-12 and the other tree on letters…
Earlier this week we learned that yellow and red paint mix to make orange paint, which just so happens to be one of the colors of Fall/Autumn leaves 🍁 (just not in South Florida because 🏝 seasons are not really something we see here 🍃). The kids then used stencils to make their own Fall leaves 🍁 collage. H went to work right away with the stencils while B decided to try her…
When learning about wind, it couldn’t be more simple than taping construction paper together in the shape of cylinders and having the kids make the strongest structures possible before attempting to blow them down. Naturally, the kids started to try to reinforce their structures by placing cylinders inside cylinders. They also made great Wonder Woman bracelets for pretend play. Give a child something simple, and watch it take on…
When your Dad shows up to school for the first time ever, you sit in his lap while your teacher Mommy melts. 🥰 This activity was a great way to incorporate clouds with math, and even letter making, as B pointed out. The idea was to roll the pocket cube and place the corresponding number of clouds (AKA = cotton balls) onto the picture scene. This kind of activity is great for…

Can you…
Yesterday we started our weather unit with talking and learning about the sun. These 3-year-olds can now tell you that when it’s daytime ☀️ on one side of the Earth 🌎, it’s nighttime 🌙 on the other side. It’s never too early to teach science to small children. They may not grasp everything, and you may need to simplify it, but they are far more capable than most…
