What’s Going on In Early Childhood?
In the early childhood curriculum for this month, we’re completing our ball study with a combination of fine motor, gross motor, math, art, sensory and more!
Our ball study is part of our Tier 1 curriculum that encourages creative, open-ended learning. With activities like ball study, our early childhood students are receiving hands-on learning to discover and explore how to answer their own questions about the balls they want to investigate like “What do we know about balls, and what do we want to find out?”.
To answer their questions, they learned which balls roll or bounce, learned how to sort the balls by colors, counted them, and much more.
Not only did they get to experience the balls in the classroom, but they got to learn through reading and outdoor play as well. Creative activities like these are what give our early childhood students a head-start in learning!
For our end of study celebration, we brought soccer shots to Jewish Preschool of the Arts!
