We’ve been a little bit quiet on our page because we dove into summer and we’ve been having a blast! So, what have we been up to? 
We’ve been having an incredible summer in our Owls class (4 year old), full of discovery, creativity, and hands-on learning! As educators, we know that children learn best through play—and what a playful and purposeful summer it’s been!
🔨 Building Big Ideas
Our budding architects have been hard at work designing and constructing with blocks, LEGO®, and loose parts. Whether building a tall tower, a cityscape, or a bridge that really holds weight, the children are exploring early STEM concepts like balance, measurement, and problem-solving in fun, meaningful ways. It’s amazing to see their confidence grow as they work together to bring their ideas to life!
🖐️ Fine Motor Fun
From using tweezers to sort summer-themed manipulatives, to cutting and pasting their own sunshine collages, our little learners have been strengthening their hand muscles in preparation for writing and self-care tasks. We’ve also introduced threading, lacing, and even some beginning scissor skills, all wrapped in playful activities that keep them engaged and excited.
🎨 Splashing into Summer Fun
Water play, bubble painting, ice excavation, and outdoor sensory bins have turned up the joy this season! The children have loved exploring the wonders of summer while staying cool, curious, and connected to nature. Every day is a new adventure filled with laughter, friendships, and plenty of sunscreen!
