Exploring New Activities During Centers

Today in the pine room, we introduced Anatomy to the children.  This was a great way for the children to think about the human body and all of our different parts that we have.  We were also able to actually see what certain parts may look like by taking them off and looking at them and then putting them back on the body where we think they belong.  Next to Anatomy we had a skeleton for the children to experiment with as well.  There was a lot of curiosity going on with this activity.

Teaching Strategies: Social Studies #30 "Shows basic understanding of people and how they live"

Another huge hit today was our park that was in the maple room, there were picnic essentials for the children to use and also dogs and cats with collars and leashes to walk around the park.  This allowed the children to be able to set up a picnic at the park with their peers and animals.  The children were very happy to see the park set up for them to play with during centers.

Teaching Strategies: Social-Emotional #3 "Participates cooperatively and constructively in group situations"

Have a great rest of the week! Hopefully it doesn't stay cold for too much longer!
