This picture of our friend K really signifies that we learn best through play! Her expression tells us that she is focused on her task at hand but her relaxed body language also says she is having fun. All while practicing her fine motor skills, exploring the nature of water, and cause and effect.

Every September we say farewell to summer. This year we sent summer out in style! We celebrated by turning our large meeting room into ice cream themed math learning stations. Everyone moved around, exploring math activities such as sorting, counting, stacking/balancing, and attempting to make patterns. We finished the fun with ice cream sundaes, complete with a cherry on top!
