Dirt explore

   I put dirt into the sensory table for the children to touch and explore. I also gave the children a toy rake and shovel as well. The younger infants let me put their hand into the dirt and touched the shovel. The older children squeezed and picked up chunks of dirt. They also moved the shovel and rake in the dirt moving it around. They used their small motor, early logic and sensory skills.

"Row, Row, Row the Boat"

    The children listened as I sang this song to them. I gently rocked them back and forth on my lap as well as in a little boat. Even the 3 month old infant looked at me and smiled. The older infants moved their body back and forth trying to get me to continue rocking after I stopped. They used their early logic, language and large motor skills. They all smiled at me too!

Reading- What Do You Say?

    The children sat on my lap as I read What Do You Say?  I read the words as they looked at the pages. I encouraged them to touch the pages and help turn them. I also pointed to the different animals on the pages and made the animal sound. I let them explore the book and let them look at me as I made the different animal sounds again. The older infants repeated some of the animal sounds.
