…I like to incorporate Physical Education in my curriculum in a FUN way. Every day the children enjoy different themed music and a movement period. In the past I have also added a counting exercise during circle time. This includes choosing a type of exercise (jumping, jumping jacks, hop on one foot, arm circles, etc.) and doing that exercise to the number of the day on the calendar.
Pets and Kids: a few benefits you maybe did not know. Caring for a pet teaches children responsibility, provides children with exposure to creatures beyond human beings, and has shown to benefit a child’s health and social and cognitive skills. This is why we have added 4 guinea pig friends to the ScuttleBugs family!
Here at ScuttleBugs, our staff aims to turn not only every moment, but every nook and cranny into an opportunity to play, learn, and grow. More often than not, we see our children thrive on lessons that they can experience first hand, and with subject matter they can relate to. In other words, we believe hands-on learning is not just the best, but really the key, experiential approach from birth through 5 years of age. Every interaction children have with the environment can be a teachable moment with a life-long impact.
Part of our classroom curriculum for this week was all about cooking! We became little chefs and even created our own cookbooks! It was a great opportunity to promote healthy eating and healthy choices as a whole. We focused on the importance of washing our hands before and after every cooking experience. We also discussed the importance of eating nutritious food, and why we may get tummy aches from eating too much unhealthy foods such as candy and cake.
