  • Working on adding a nocturnal animal theme to our #mpktotschool curriculum this week. Today we made tear paper owls for fine motor practice and Arabella was loving tearing the paper apart! Quick tip: If your little one is having trouble tearing the paper, cut or tear a few notches in the strip of paper to give them a little head start. Watch my stories today to see her going to town 🤪 She’s also beginning to experiment with using scissors so you’ll see her pick those up and give that a try as well!
  • First day of tippy toes 💕 Arabella was so excited she wore her ballet shoes for nap today 🥰
  • Turning snack time into learning time! We practiced counting with our counting tree snack. I love starting the year with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Chicka Chicka 123 because it’s like a crash course in letters and numbers. I get asked all the time if I focus on a certain letter or number each week, what order I teach them in, and literally all kinds of things related to teaching letters. This may come as a shock to some people but I actually don’t really focus on a letter each week with my kids. 😳I focus more on language and I am constantly pointing out letters/sounds and numbers everywhere and in every activity. For my kids this has worked really well and by the time they are done with tot school they know majority of their letters and numbers to ten at the age of three. At this point I’ve decided if it works for us, no need to stress about them learning a specific letter/number every week I trust that they will pick them up through our learning and play when they are ready. #mpktotschool

  • It’s 🌴Chicka Chicka Boom Boom 🌴week and I am pumped! What books do you remember loving when you were in kindergarten? Fun fact: this book was first published when I was actually in Kindergarten! I don’t remember much from back then but I vividly remember sitting in the school library on my carpet square super engaged in hearing this story for the first time. The combination of bright colors, familiar letters, adorable storyline, and the rhyme and rhythm of text made this book an instant hit with kids and teachers everywhere and a definite classic. I absolutely loved sharing this book with my kindergarteners for the first time in the classroom, and now with my own girls. So ready to start this #mpktotschool theme!🙌🏻
  • Call me crazy but it’s 55 degrees and sort of rainy but I’m loving it! After a super hot summer I’m ready for all the fall things! Bring on cozy sweatshirts, pumpkins, and ALL the apples 🍎 🍏 Aubrey helped us out with some #mpktotschool fine motor activities this morning and I’m loving how these cute apple prints turned out😍
