Our silk worms are getting bigger! Our 2s, 3s, and dinner classes are loving watching these creatures. Our "wonderful worms" have "no teeth, no ears, no eyes, no clothes, no feet, no bones. They've got a mouth they chew and they chew. That's what those worms are supposed to do."

It was a "dirty-rific" good time as we harvested potatoes and found worms to explore.

Sitting on the couch with one child to read a book quickly turned to other children joining. Yes, children are gaining vocabulary, understanding of the world, building their schema, but the intimate connections they are building with their teacher and each other is priceless.

What do you do when the infant/toddler play yard fills with a fun puddle? Well, you add cute little people, ducks and boats and oh so much fun! The squeals of joy, laughter and giggles from adults and observers = a fantastic day!

Toddlers enjoy shredded paper "snow". Clean-up can be just as fun!

"We spent Threes (Teacher Maja) & Fours (Teacher Marjan) together with our older kids and then 12-18 Months with our younger kids in Teacher Monica's class and have remained close."

Creating real life experiences (like our 4s postal office) with embedded understanding of letters, concept of print, community connections, social play, and so much more is powerful for children's learning about the world around them.
