We began our morning with center time. This is an uninterrupted block of time for the children to explore the centers and make choices about what they would like to do. Dramatic play, the library, block play, science center, easel, light table, sensory play, and the themed trays are open for the children to check out.
At this point we are for the most part still solitary players. The children will often be in the same space but are not really interacting with one another quite yet. This is a typical play stage for a 2.5-3 year old. As the year progresses so will their play styles.

The children were asked to use paint sticks (fast dry, beautiful, and vibrant) to color their initial any way they would like. They were all so proud of them when they were done. We walked them over to the bulletin board and each got to choose where they wanted their letter to hang.
Next week, we will be focusing on our colors. We will do some color mixing, introduce scissors, and pipettes. So many new experiences to look forward too. Have a wonderful, restful weekend.
