Baby Doll Circle Time

Image
 Good afternoon, Oak Room Family!  We started a new activity today in meeting called Baby Doll Circle Time.  Baby Doll Circle Time is a set of lessons that the children and teacher do together involving songs and games that we sing and play with the babies and each other.  The goal of Baby Doll Circle Time is to enhance the quality of the relationship between caregivers and children by strengthening attachment, attunement and social play.  Each lesson, in addition to to objectives and being fun, also supports development of certain executive skills.  For example, today's lesson ("Where is My Baby?") supports development of impulse/emotional control, prioritization, and working memory.  Students also enjoyed reading books together with a CD, working with clay, and playing on the new playscape.  We had a really busy and productive morning! Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! Today was the ribbon cutting ceremony for the playscape and we got to play on the WHOLE PLAYSCAPE!  We got to go on the new deck, play in the new sandbox, play on the swings, etc.  It was exciting!  The Webster-Kirkwood Times came to the ceremony as did Fox 2.  We are also looking forward to the Back to School Bash tonight on the playscape from 5-7pm.   Happy playing!

It was certainly a hot day in The Forest today! Children played in a “house”, found an ant friend, made “stew”, climbed trees, ran fast, looked for snakes and so much more!  Have a great day!
