This week in centers, the children had a fantastic time! They especially enjoyed using the Magna-Tiles on the rug—building creative structures with friends or independently alongside one another. They also put on their own puppet show like Pura Belpré.

At the manipulatives table, the children explored with space-themed figures, rubber stone rocks, and magnetic foam, letting their imaginations take off. They also had fun stringing large beads and working on puzzles together. 

To match our St. Patrick’s Day theme, we used bright yellow and green Unifix cubes. Some children worked on connecting robots to create their own creative looking robots—many of which were incredibly creative and fun to see! Our green rice sensory bin, filled with fun St. Patrick’s Day objects, was a big hit! 

The children had a wonderful time enjoying outdoor play in the warm, sunny weather! We stayed cool by spending as much time as possible in the shade while still making the most of our time outside.

They had so much fun playing with friends at the outdoor table using connecting cubes, drawing at the easel, spinning each other on the strawberry spinner, riding tricycles, and exploring in the sandbox. The turtle statue was a popular spot for jumping and climbing, and the children loved getting creative with puppets and cooking up imaginative meals in our outdoor kitchen on the patio.

We also enjoyed time in the meadow—running freely, playing together, and relaxing in the shade. It was a joyful week full of fresh air and fun!

This week in music class, Teacher Brian led the children in singing fun songs like “By the Bridge,” “Down by the Bay,” “Follow the Leader,” and the lively “Rattling Bog.” They also had a great time playing an exciting Grizzly Bear game! The children continued practicing their songs in preparation for the Spring Sing, and their enthusiasm is really shining through.
