In North Casa, the children are celebrating Pride month. It is a celebration of unity, love and community. The children enjoyed creating their own rainbow art using markers, paint and construction paper. We also explored and discussed books on the diversity of families.

We observe the life cycle of a butterfly from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly, right in our own classroom! While we watch for the butterflies to emerge, the children have the opportunity to do extended activities, such as a life cycle puzzle, a life cycle book with objects and matching cards, as well as drip art and prick a shape butterflies. Once all the butterflies emerge, we take them outside on a warm, sunny day and release them into nature. What an experience!

In recent yoga classes, Cheeba has focused on teaching the children the “lion” pose. This particular pose is geared to help children work through complex emotions by incorporating relaxation breathing. In this pose, the children inhale then deeply and silently exhale, thus allowing them to release any unwanted energy they may have.

As an extension of the Number Rods activity, the child may be introduced to addition using the rods. The child adds two quantities together by physically placing the corresponding rods end to end. The child then counts out the quantities to arrive at the answer.

The child begins by placing one of the chains from the bead cabinet, its corresponding tickets, squares, cube, and counter on their math tray. This activity allows the child to visually see what it looks like when skip counting. Indirectly, the activity prepares the mind for multiplication, squaring, and cubing.
