Hello,
Winter seems to be taking us by storm this February! The children are enjoying the different weather systems that we are getting and embrace each one with enthusiasm and excitement. The rain and wind certainly don't deter them from getting their gear on and exploring the beautiful outdoors. The snow, well that is a lovely surprise when it happens and children light up with excitement. It is a race to get our outside gear on and get outside before it all melts.
Children learn through play and a child's play is his/her work. Getting outside is the best source of learning and exploration we can provide as educators. Outside experiences are filled with endless teachable moments that encompass skills such as science, math, language development, and imaginative play! I am proud to say that my daughter has introduced me to her "new" friend Jonathan; I cannot see him but she assures me he is there and plays very well!
Lets embrace this weather and get outside, jump in the puddles, hide from the wind, and welcome the snow!
Happy Island Winter!
