Exploring Cause and Effect

Our friends love to find interesting new toys to explore in the classroom. Our friend J is racing with her mom, she quickly places the balls through the hole at the top, then watches it make its way down the ramp to fall through another hole to go down another ramp. Mom supports her by narrating what J is doing and seeing, giving her words for new things and then asking her questions so J can share her thoughts.

Let's Move w/the YMCA

Our friend S is practicing being a flamingo. She is developing her large muscle control and standing on one leg. Her mom is close by, being a role model and encourages S to be courageous and experiment with moving her body in different ways. Most important, she encourages to try again, when she is unsuccessful. Practice is important!

Enjoying a Good Book
