Since schools are currently closed, I have created this virtual slide show to share with the parents, so that they will have a collection of ideas in a form of a virtual book, so that they continue to teach their children at home.
2. SWINGINTOSPRING
Children are born
to be explorers,
and it is in their
nature to love the
experience of
sights, scents,
sounds and
textures of the
outdoors. Nature
provides
countless
opportunities for
discovery,
creativity,
problem-solving,
and critical
thinking. It also
creates a stress-
free environment,
which is very
healthy and
relaxing.
It is also our
responsibility to
teach children
how to
appreciate the
wonders of
nature and
respect the
natural
environment
around them.
3. WEATHER OBSERVATION
Templates will be sent via email.
Your child
can create
his / her own
web chart,
representing
his / her own
ideas about
the weather.

10. To create a sensory bin is:
a big tub, tray or container OR
you can you use the bath tub
time
patience
necessary resources that you
can find around the house –
related to a topic.
The aim of sensory bins is not to
keep the children busy. But to
help them grow and develop.
Like adults, children learn best
through hands on experiences.
Children learn more when they
are provided with opportunities,
to actively use their senses as
they explore their world through
sensory play. This is crucial for
brain development.
