This week, Ms. Tabitha and Ms. Ashely’s class has been exploring how rain forms and how water moves through hands-on activities. Using shaving cream to represent clouds and spray bottles to create rain, they practiced observing, predicting, and experimenting in a fun and engaging way! These activities supported early science skills, fine motor development, and language growth as the children described what they saw and used newly learned weather terms, all while encouraging curiosity and creativity through play-based exploration!

Ms. Kelsie and Ms. Liz's class are learning about Mat Man! Mat Man helps children learn about their bodies by building a person step by step using hands-on pieces and movement. These lessons strengthen fine motor skills, body awareness, listening skills, and early pre-writing skills—all while having fun! We love watching learning come to life through play.
