Rhyme Time: Icky Bicky Soda Cracker with Sarah
Play is one of the primary ways young children learn about how the world works and learn language. Singing a playful song is always a great place to start and this nonsense, action, and movement rhyme is a perfect example!
Rhyme Time: Criss Cross Applesauce with Amy
Did you know that… The sense of rhythm learned from listening to songs and rhymes helps children to identify patterns, like rhyming words, which will help them learn to read? Snuggle up with baby as we rhyme together!
Oobleck
Ever heard of a “Non Newtonian Fluid?” What about OOBLECK? Get messy with Miss Laura today as she mixes cornstarch and water to create some awesome slime. Check out what happens as you move your hand slowly through the mixture. Then, what happens when you move your hand quickly through it?
Sing Along: Bears are Sleeping with Sarah
Singing helps children hear the distinct sounds that make up words because songs emphasize different syllables and sounds. This makes singing a very important part of early literacy skill development! Songs can also teach new vocabulary and introduce new ideas and concepts – like hibernation!
Sing Along: Wheels On The Bus with Amy
Sing-a-long, without worrying what you sound like! Your child loves your unique voice, so don’t be shy about singing to your child. And when you sing to them, you’re helping them to build their early literacy skills!
The Umbrella STEAM Challenge
Put on your engineering hats, it’s time to get inventive! Can you create an umbrella for a toy using materials found around your house? Remember, in STEAM activities, there is never just ONE right answer!
Sing Along: Twinkle, Twinkle with Sarah
DYK: children who have memorized some nursery rhymes before they start kindergarten will be more successful in school than children who do not know nursery rhymes?! Better start practicing! Join Miss Sarah and sign along.
