Thursday and Friday Fun!

 Happy Friday!  We ended this week with an introduction to our exploration of Home and Family. 




We closed out or exploration of transportation on Thursday. The children enjoyed letting the cars run down the ramp. Some of the cars went really fast and some were incredibly slow. 










We brought the bubble machine outside today for some extra fun. The ground was so wet that the bubbles stayed around a long time! The children had so much fun stomping on the bubbles on the ground and running after the ones that were flying through the air!







Back inside, we took some time to take care of our babies. We pretended to give them a bath in the sensory table and gave them some snuggles. Playing with dolls is a great way for our littlest friends to learn empathy.





We used shapes to make houses today! We had picture of houses on the table as inspiration and named the shapes as we glued them to the paper. We will revisit this invitation throughout our exploration as the children learn more about houses!


We hope you all have a safe weekend!

What a Year!

 What a year it has been! The children in Katon started out as "Covid babies."  They had grown up mostly around their families and...
