We come to school Monday through Friday to learn new things. And learn we do. Upon arriving, we work on developing and strengthening our fine motor muscles by coloring and cutting and playing with smaller sized toys. We say the pledge everyday before circle time. We review colors and shapes and talk about all kinds of things. Everyone always seems to have something to share with the class. We listen to the stories that are read to us and then discuss them as a group. It's like our own little "book club".
After all of that "work", the real learning begins! Project/free play time!
Free play is when we get to talk and play with friends and use our imaginations.
As we play school, we learn to take turns being the teacher and listen to one another. We are reinforcing our communication skills.
Working with puzzles helps us develop spatial recognition.
And Mr. Potato heads certainly encourage creativity!
Here we have learned that sometimes books are just more fun than cars, especially when you are reading with a friend. And then again, sometimes it's just fun to line up all the long neck dinosaurs (things that are alike) for a big dinosaur race! Yes, there is so much to learn while we play.
(Don't worry about the mess in the back ground - we've learned how to cooperate and clean it up in no time!)
