The Power of Movement

This week we focused on the power of movement. The children learned that they used movement in all the things that they do throughout the day.  We kicked off the week with some parachute fun and different obstacles that they could move throughout in their classrooms. We also had a 4th of July parade along with Gymboree coming and putting on a music class for our Infants and Toddlers. The last thing of movement that we did for the week was flying airplanes during water play time today.

The final part to our Power of Food Week

This week has been so much fun with The Power of Food. I know that the blog for this week has been long but I hope that everyone has enjoyed seeing how much the teachers and children love The Power of Food week. So, to end the blog for the week you will be seeing pictures of sandwich making, reading five little apples along with the veggie alphabet and washing veggies for water play.

Second Half of The Power of Food

This part of The Power of Food has to deal with some of the things that the teachers came up with to make their classrooms reflect the theme for the week. One class did fruit naming and another one made a pink lemonade stand along with a sensory play for the pink lemonade. The last pictures on today's blog are going to have to do with pizza making.

The Power of Food

The focus this week has been The Power of Food. The children and staff have done so many wonderful activities this week that we are going to need to break this blog up into three different days. The children and teachers kicked off the week with a Farmers Market and then did a little produce stamping on Tuesday. One of our classes made oatmeal play-dough for buzz idea for the class. The children loved the fact that they were able to eat the play-dough....hahaha. We had another class make cupcakes for a snack and they really enjoyed being able to prepare something and then eat the finished product.
