Hi ... I hope you’re having a great week so far. Last week, Jaimee invited [LO] and [friend] to explore paper as a small group in the living room. [LO] was very immediate to jump right in and explore it. She began to roll over and over as she would crumble the paper in her hands and put it in her mouth. It seems like she really enjoys the sound it makes. It was also a nice experience for [LO] and [friend] to connect with one another. [Friend] would come and sit close to observe [LO] as she would shake the paper around. Working in small groups helps deepen the relationship between the children and the material itself. Enjoy the images and have a wonderful rest of the week.

Your daycare is really raising the bar for us! We're starting to look at day care options for our little one for next Jan... I think it will be really hard for us to find a place now that I've been reading how wonderful yours is!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ariane - some key words to look for are places that use the RIE Approach (Resources for Infant Educators) and Reggio. Santa Barbara has got to have some Reggio schools! I just got on every waiting list that I could. Good luck!
