Indoor activities of February 2011


Paper hats. boats turned into hats.







 Kids have been very creative in their block play.Both boys want to make  special headbands for robots.
Children learn while they play. It is interesting to learn how their minds work. Their play reflects the adult interaction.Both these boys were very imaginative and it did tell they have very positive male influence and interaction at home.They were making tools to help and make work easier, as well as things for underwater swiming etc. Our little group show appropriate social, emotional and physical development. Sometimes adults think what did our child do all day accept playing today.WEll! they learn a lot through play too, while playing they most of all learn to  share and be tolerant of each other as well as respect each other's wishes. They develop socially and grow physically healthy. Also during play they improve their vocabulary, and appropriate usage of words. Their judgement  & problem solving skills improve.
I have been reading a discussion on one of the websites and the topic was ---- is it ok to teach babies to read. This is a new trend in people now a days, they want their babies to learn to read at very young age..Please do tell me about your views. enjoy the february pics.

The Little Engine That Could (Part 1)

Some times children say i cannot do it, and they do not want to even try. So i thought of reading them a story of Little Engine, I had this book in my library and love it. We(me and children) read this story book together.Tom got very excited because his Grandma had this book which belonged to his DAD. Later we wached the video on My laptop.Through this book and video i taught children, not to loose faith in themselves.Keep trying and you will succeed.
Please watch all three parts of the train story
