Feed, feed, feed the birds in the wintertime
When the days are dark and cold food is hard to find
Feed, feed, feed the birds till the spring has come
Scatter birdseed on the snow, feeding birds is fun!
Our preschoolers know very well that in winter, when the food is scarce, we need to help our feathery friends survive cold days. So, we string popcorn and apples and make yummy treats the birds can snack on.
Learning patterns is fun!
We make “people patterns” (boy/girl), or movement patterns (clap/snap, clap/snap/slap, jump/jump/sit down etc.). We use pattern blocks, cut-out shapes to create shape patterns.
Bear family counters are perfect to make a size pattern.
Beads, pompom s, or just crayons can be used to make a color pattern.
Children also love to use color manipulatives such as Unifix cubes, animal, fruits or car counters, buttons to make more complex patterns.

We work on your children’s condition every day.
It’s not always necessary to have expensive equipment to provide learning opportunities for children. We practice to balance, play games with the parachute, bean bags, ribbons, climb a climbing frame, play movement games, learn how to fall down and land on feet or just dance.
Movement activities help children to develop socially and emotionally because they permit interrelationships with other children in groups and with the partners.
Today we did exercises with throwing and catching balls, rolling and a lot of stretching.
Good warm up = endorphins !
It gives us a lot of happiness and energy for the whole day 😉

It’s Grandparents Day soon. This week, we’re talking about our Grandparents. It warms my heart the way our little ones talk about their grandmas and grandpas… how they help them cook and clean… share their memories of fishing or baking cakes together. It takes me back to the days when I was a little girl and I’d spent my whole summer with my Grandparents. It was lovely.
Take a look at Little Teddies and Funny Frogs working really hard to impress their loved ones with beautiful Origami Grandparents Portraits. Aren’t they adorable?
