Creative Week!

Theme: Creative Week
Concept: To sare the experience, not direct it.

It is fun to have this idea for the actual concept, although it is something we do in every class. Maybe I shoudl say that it is our hope that you are not directing your child in class. It can be difficult to give up control. As adults, we have certain expectations for our child. Let go of your expectations and allow your toddler the freedom to make their own choices. Yipee for mistakes, falls, bumps, and problems to solve. If you steer your child away from a tunnel that already has children in it because you know that so many children will cause a clog in the tunnel, then you have robbed your child of learning and problem solving on their own.
Let your child explore while you act as the saftey net and the mouth piece of information. Creative Week teaches children that they are important and an individual. They should get the message loud and clear that their idea's are just as good and important as our idea's.
*Academic smarts are easy to find, but creativity is rare and precious. -Robert Sternberg

Roll like a Pumpkin!

This week's theme is all about Halloween! We can't wait to see how everyone is dressed up! 

The toddler concept behind our theme: Imagery

Teaching children to "roll like a pumpkin' is called imagery. You may know it as reffered to as a simile. Children like pretending they are something else. It helps to make a point or to help a child understand a concept. Learning to roll is no easy task. The natural reflex of being up side down is hard because the body tries to get back into an upright position. A child that learns how to roll, even if it is down a wedge mat, has overcome the reflex. 

Remember to keep the chin tucked, to protect the neck. And get out there and roll yourself. Be Brave!
