Trip to Sultana Education Center
Playgroup families joined the Judy Center on a trip to the Sultana Education Center. This trip was full of fun and learning about owls.
Children and families danced together, explored live animals, created a craft to take home, and more.
In this photo, our playgroup friend was learning about what owls eat and don't eat. He used his fine motor skills to feed the owl, used his math and cognitive skills to categorize what owls do eat and don't eat.
Viaje al Centro Educativo Sultana
Children were able to look at and touch live animals. Children had the chance to touch animal furs and skeletons. Children explored arrowheads and rocks.
Sultana Education Foundation offers free Toddler Time every Friday starting in November and ending in March.

Mixing colors
During playgroup, children had the opportunity to mix paint just like the mice did in our circle time book: Mouse Paint.
This activity gave children the freedom to use their creativity and explore the art materials. It gave them a chance to use and build their fine motor skills by holding and using the paintbrush. Families were with them engaging in open ended conversations, building on their communication and language skills. This activity also prepared children for school by following simple directions and engaging in an activity.
