Sensory Sand

It is that time of year again. It is almost Fall. We love Autumn (Fall) around here. It is great. There is just something so magical about the season. It is our favorite. We await the greatness of Autumn and all of the wonderful things it has in store for us. Here, we are sharing a post from a while back. We have a sensory bin of kinetic sand filled with plastic insects and snakes that we got from the dollar store. It is fun and entertaining for the children. In the center of this photo grid is a sensory bin filled with dry macaroni and plastic animals. The possibilities are endless.

Be on the look out for new posts and great stuff coming soon. We are starting to post on this blog again which we have not done so in a long while. We were over at www.loorducation.com. Take a look around, stay a while and enjoy.

Yearning for Learning

Playing is learning. It is summer time and the children are on vacation. When they are playing, they are learning. They learn about their environment through many variations of play.They need a lot of free time for open ended play but they also need to be reading and practicing academics too. Learning never ends. It begins at home, travels through school then continues onto home and follows us wherever we go. Education is everywhere and it is vital that we strive to be lifelong learners and make our children life long learners as well. It is also very important to make learning fun and enjoyable. The idea is to have children fall in love with learning and be drawn to it. It does not take much to have children become proactive about their learning from an early age. Hand them some paper, writing tools, arts and craft supplies and let them know that they can create whatever it is that they like to. This empowers them. Giving them choices also gives them great opportunities for wonderful self expression. This is what is needed. When children feel well, they will learn well. This is the bottom line.Let's make all the children around us feel that they matter and that they are important  not just in the future when they grow up, but today, when they are little humans.
