Our Time: MILK & COOKIES

Week 12

For the next few weeks, many of our classroom activities will offer the opportunity for your child to hear, create and experience loud sounds and quiet sounds. Games such as these help develop listening skills as well as allow the opportunity for your child to use his/her cognitive skills to explore and discover.

Activities which encourage the child to move or stop moving in response to a cue help the child develop inhibitory (internal) control. The ability to control body movement is an important step toward developing self-discipline.



Fine Motor Skills may be developed through games requiring focus on finger movements. These skills are essential in increasing the child’s ability to turn pages of a book, use a crayon, hold a toothbrush or use a spoon. Last 3 pics w/bells
