Goodbye April, Hello May! 🙂

We are saying hello to a new month! Summer is creepin’ up on us and I am so excited! 

This month of May is going to be filled with fun and exciting activities! 🙂

Fine Motor:  

Fine motor skills help children preform important task such as feeding themselves, grasping objects and writing. The ability to preform these everyday tasks help the children’s self-esteem and confidence grow.

We will be working on our fine motor skills by doing activities such as water play,  play-dough, tweezer grab, building/stacking, water bottle squirt, coloring, painting and much more! 

Gross Motor:

Gross motor skills are important because they help to enable children to preform everyday functions such as walking, running, playground skills, climbing, throwing and catching. 

We will be working on our gross motor skills by doing activities such as running, jumping, obstacle courses, dance parties, playing toss and catch, walking on a balance beam and much more!

If you haven’t already please switch out your child’s winter clothes for spring/summer time clothing 🙂 I believe everyone has brought sunscreen for their child so thank you so much for that!
