Throughout
the day, we engage in conversations with children as they do
activities. Hearing direct language directed toward them helps young
children make the brain connections needed to develop their own language
skills. Today we had conversations while transitioning to outside time.

Today,
children engaged in a hands-on experiment as they practiced
differentiating between hot and cold. We discussed weather and season
changes, explored the different temperatures of water, and categorized
clothes for hot and cold weather.

Young
children learn to problem slove by completing puzzles. Playing with
puzzles support cognitive development as children use their spatial
skills and memory to match each piece. When children keep trying to make
something happen, they build their reslove to accomplish a goal.
Working with puzzles provides opportunities to experiment with how
things fit together, solve problems, and practice hand-eye coordination.

This
week we are practicing clean-up skills by involving children in helpful
routines both as clean-up is needed throughout the day and during play
in our learning centers, like dramatic play. When children are engaged
in clean-up, they not only learn self-help skills, but it makes it
easier for everyone and helps children learn inhibitory control. What
ways can your child help with clean-up at home?
