We Love our Sweet Little Storybook Cottage where we stretch our imaginations by discovering new worlds within our story books, including listening to our favorites on our Tonie Boxes! Our puppets round out our learning while we act out old and new stories!

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” - Albert Einstein

Our students having a blast trying to figure out how to manipulate moving a ball from
one end of the tube to the other, using physics, math, engineering, and not to forget, TEAMWORK!

STEM is not a class you teach, it’s a culture you build - Chris Woods

STEM - is not what we know, it’s what we figure out when the instruction manual doesn’t arrive (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathmatics)

Gingerbread dough invitation to play! Working with dough is a great prewriting skill as it strengthens small hands and is a fun activity to also improve our fine motor skills! Our homemade gingerbread dough smelled so good, it was a great sensory experience as well. We enjoyed making “cookies”, trees, snowmen, and so much more!

It’s finally been freezing overnight here at Puddle Ducks, and that’s means it time for my most favorite sensory table of the year! Our Polar Ice Table! We love exploring and learning about all of the creatures that live in the cold and frozen waters!

Another one of our new centers is our pet Center! We have been learning all about how to care for different animals and their different habitats and needs. This center has definitely been a hit with the help of all of our new interactive friends!

We added some new centers this month, one of our favorites has been the listening center! Where up to four children can listen to their favorite stories being read or sing their favorite songs together, provided by our two new tonie boxes and our growing collection of creative tonies! So much fun, and another way to learn!

At Puddle Ducks we follow the interests of the children and dig deeper into learning. We recently researched this scary looking guy and learned that it is called a Therizinosaurus, and would you believe it is classified as a PEACEFUL HERBIVORE?!? Those scary looking claws are actually for digging up grass and plants instead of attacking others! Who would have thought?!?

And now you’ve learned something today 😁
