Sensory play has SO much value! here some of my favourites: ⁣⁣1. Research shows that it builds the brain’s pathways to more complex paths. ⁣2. It builds a child’s vocabulary⁣3. this type of sensory play helps kids learn sensory attributes such as cold, wet, sticky, soft, slithery. ⁣4. Helps build fine and gross motor development (with that pincer grip)⁣5. Social interaction! (VERY important!)⁣⁣What are your go-sensory activities? ⁣⁣ ... See MoreSee Less

Here’s our brief outline of what I have planned for this week. ⁣⁣I’m sure we’ll deviate, buttt I thought it would be helpful to share a bit of a plan! ⁣⁣Printing- this is a review. I’ve noticed he’s still not printing his letters properly, so we’re reviewing again. I don’t spend a long of time printing though! Just a few minutes. ⁣⁣A lot of our activities will be from my spring activity pack- where there are math, literacy and science activities! ⁣⁣I’m a big believer in play- so I often set a timer for the writing/cutting and pasting activities. This way, he knows that he doesn’t have to sit for thaaaat long (he can sit longer if he wants), and setting a goal is always helpful!⁣⁣What do you have planned for this week?? ⁣⁣Let me know if this is helpful!! Always happy to share whatever I can! ⁣⁣ ... See MoreSee Less

Planning for kids of different ages isn’t always easy. ⁣⁣For years, I’ve always differentiated in my classroom and it felt like a breeze. As a student who felt like I learned differently than how my teachers were teaching, I made it my mission (as an educator) to help my students in the ways they needed! ⁣⁣Now as a momma who’s teaching both my 4 and almost 2 year old- it’s definitely challenging to help them both at the same time! ⁣⁣Honestly, I have done much with my toddler- she does mostly playing (which she should) and half the time painting all of the place 😬😂. ⁣⁣This activity worked perfectly for them both! P was sooo excited that she could participate and she actually really like it! ⁣⁣Harry has weak fine motor, so this was a great activity too!! ⁣⁣Who else has a hard time finding activities that are great for multiple ages! Let me know how I can help! ... See MoreSee Less
