Dogwoods
- 3 year olds
|
Teachers: Cathy Hughes,
Tammy Glenn
In the Dogwoods class,
we start our day with free play time in all of our centers in
the room, allowing children to adjust to their new environment.
This time gives children an excellent opportunity to develop
language, social skills, motor control, and sensory awareness.
Art is offered daily as well as fine motor activities. We have
a snack, sing about the calendar and weather and learn about
the changing seasons. The children enjoy large muscle development
through organized games and free play. During circle time we
hear stories, finger plays, creative movement, math activities
and/or music. Our circle time is learning time, each discussion
is presented to expand the children's understanding of the weekly
theme, in a fun way! |
