Learning With Nature

Painting With A Twist

Instead of using paintbrushes, we created our own with parts of trees. Children benefit from working with many different kinds of materials and having conversations about their artwork and the work of others.

The Very Hungry Squirrel

The boys and girls were full of excitement as they rolled the dice to see how many acorns they could feed the Squirrel. When we play games as a group, they are learning to cooperate and share with others. The foundation skills for being a productive member of a social and learning group are established during the early childhood years, and they are important for early school success.

Same Sound Sort

Each child picked an item from our box to play a game. We grouped these items by the beginning sound. When kids have a strong foundation in phonemic awareness, it’s easier for them to understand that certain letters stand for specific sounds.
