Exploring Leaves

Fall has finally arrived, which means many changes are happening to the outside world. The weather is getting cooler. It is starting to rain more often and the leaves are starting to change colour. The next time you are outside for a walk or playing in the park, take the time to point out these changes and encourage children to explore their outside environment. This activity allows children to take what they have explored and create something that will be based on their memory.

Outdoor Play

We all know how much much children love to be outside. Young children need plenty of open space to spread out and move!  They need space where they can practice their skills of movement, balance, coordination, and be provided with the opportunity for gross motor development. Playing outside also helps fosters children’s other developmental skills such as social, emotional and cognitive skills.

Butterfly Life Cycle

Learning the life cycle of a butterfly is a fun one to learn in the classroom since the children are able to watch the caterpillars turn into butterflies in real time!
