Hello Alef Families,
This week, we’ve been spending time exploring a staple Montessori material in the infant room —the interlocking discs. These beautiful, smooth wooden discs are passed from one hand to the other, helping babies strengthen their grasp, improve coordination, and begin to cross the midline of their body. For many infants, this is also one of the first steps toward intentional rolling! As the discs roll slightly out of reach, babies are motivated to move after them. Younger friends enjoy holding and mouthing the discs, while older babies are beginning to chase after them with determination!
Alongside this work, we’ve continued to enjoy tummy time, songs, and plenty of one-on-one bonding moments.
Each child is showing more of their personality each day, and it’s been so much fun watching them explore!
