We recently visited the Senior Center and colored pictures with them to hang in their windows! Coloring encourages creativity, builds confidence and focus and helps to improve hand-eye coordination. During our time there, the seniors and students have back and forth conversations which helps us to further develop language skills.
Last week we ventured out for a nature walk around the neighborhood. We have been talking about plants and living and non-living things. During this nature walk the preschoolers were able to identify many living and non-living things that we charted and then discussed when we came back to school. Nature walks can enhance observation skills, promotes smartness in kids and can provide opportunities for further developing language development.
Lots to celebrate at DPS this week...
