This morning during circle time the children were introduced to the lesson called, Alphabetical Order. With this lesson the children are alphabetizing the letters A-Z. This lesson will help further develop recognition of letters and prepare the children for more advanced alphabetizing.
During Jumpbunch class the children enjoyed practicing their gross motor and balancing skills with a game of Puck and Cylinder.
This afternoon during Arts Alive the children used their imagination by having a Country Campout. They went on a hike to search for creations in nature and also roasted marshmellows.

Understanding and Responding to Children Who Bite
Hello,
It’s been a very exciting transition week here in Movement I, as we welcomed our new friends. Many times with transitioning children, new faces create new behaviors and we are working on helping children adjust to the new environment. Developmentally, children at this age do not have the skills to verbally communicate their needs, and often time biting will occur. To assist you in understanding the developmental appropriateness of biting please refer to the link below.
