All about seasons! 🍂
This week, our classroom was filled with the beautiful colors of autumn as we explored the changing seasons and discovered how plants and animals adapt to their environments.
We held our second gym session of the week! The children had an absolute blast exploring the different activity areas and jumping on the trampolines.
During outdoor play, we became nature detectives. We collected different types of leaves and learned their names, gathered pinecones and sticks, and practiced arranging them into creative patterns.
Our preschoolers took their first steps into math and literacy! They started learning how to associate numbers with quantities and introduced the Finnish letter I.
Our Hawks group focused on boosting their observation and focus skills through fun, interactive games.
