Dear Families,
This week, we will continue exploring the element of earth through hands-on sensory experiences. The children will investigate soil and mud in the sensory bin and enjoy finger painting with natural materials. We will also explore flowers frozen in ice cubes, bringing nature indoors in a beautiful and engaging way. These experiences are part of our preparation for the upcoming holiday of Tu Bishvat. Tu Bishvat is the celebration of the new year of the trees in Israel. We celebrate nature and growth on this holiday. Next week, we will taste and sample some of the seven species of fruits from trees in Israel!
On the shelves, several inviting new works will support independence, coordination, and concentration, including:
Animal matching with accompanying animal sounds to practice listening and sound discrimination
In and out activities
Teddy bear care (wrapping with blankets)
Mittens matching and wearing, helping children practice putting them on their own hands
As the weather stays cold, we are enjoying a cozy indoor environment filled with winter-themed works while bringing elements of the outdoors inside for continued exploration.
We are truly enjoying your little ones and love watching them grow through meaningful, hands-on learning each day!
Warmly,
Morahs Rachael, Kristy, Pallavi, Mary, and Sarah
