The children are enjoying working with lessons that help further develop their visual skills. Our lesson today was the Red Rods. The children place ten rods in random order of different lengths on their rug. Then they visually place them in order from longest too shortest. By working with this lesson they are also expanding their ability to comprehend what longest looks like and what shortest looks like.

The word of the day in Soccer shots was Sharing. Ask your child what that means.

This morning lesson can be found on the Sensorial shelf. It is the cylinder blocks. The presentation that was given includes 2 cylinders. The children take out the cylinders and mix them up.
