John Sweeney Learning Stories
We love sharing all the learning that is taking place in our programs. Every program at our centre shares a new story each month, so be sure to check back often! You can also email and print each story to share with friends and family.
The preschoolers have displayed an interest in bugs during outside time during their walks and investigations in the nearby woods. During these activities, children have been able to exercise their observation skills and try to find out answers to what they are curious about. Bugs seem to be a topic that, even when we don’t plan an activity around it, a discussion seems to appear! Chinyere ran across the room enthusiasticly stating that she had found a spider in the quiet corner of the room. She was very excited about her discovery and showed Chase where it was. Chase retrieved a piece of paper and put the spider on it. He brought it over to the table for the children to take a closer look. As the children watched the spider moving around on the piece of paper, they began to vocalize their observations.
