Children have been continuing to explore and make additions to their Castle learning area. In the Castle, children can put on crowns, wear jewelry, dress up, draw and write to each other, pretend to feast on food with one another, and use coins. Items such as crowns, jewelry, and the surrounding scenery were created by children themselves at the Art Studio. This week, we added a horse to our castle! There has been lots of excitement with the new materials and we are curious to see what happens next!
We have also been continuing the discussion of feelings such as 'sad' and 'shy' and what they mean to the children. Children have also been working on their writing about what makes them happy. Families, you too can also continue this discussion at home by asking your child "What makes you happy?"
Thinking ahead and as we move into February, we will slowly be moving into 3D (three-dimensional) shapes with the children. To get your child thinking about 3D shapes, when at home or outside, ask if they can can name any of the shapes they see around them. For example, you can ask your child what kind of shape is a garbage bin, a bus shelter, a box, a table, etc.
Hope you had a lovely weekend,
