All
of the activities in the three-year-old classroom are developmentally
appropriate and feature high interest manipulatives. A few activities
are rotated at a time to provide new opportunities along with familiar
favorites. There is always a variety of skill levels available in
each area to allow the children to challenge themselves at their
own pace.
Art
Area
Art supplies (paper, crayons, scissors, glue, collage materials,
etc.) are easily accessed whenever the students are inspired to
create!
Block
Area
Building materials and role-playing toys.
Dramatic
Play
Props, costumes, and furniture for different themes.
Language
Theme-based, vocabulary building games with fun manipulatives.
Math
Games that emphasize one-to-one correspondence skills and reinforce
numeral recognition.
Practical
Life
Fine motor and self-help skills are acquired through scooping, pouring,
connecting, and manipulating a large variety of equipment.
Science
Students conduct "experiments" with light, magnetism,
weight, balance, and other fascinating items and properties! There
are also activities that focus on the natural world (animal families,
animal habitats, botany, etc.).
Sensorial
Materials emphasize matching, comparing, and contrasting in the
areas of color, shape, size, texture, scent, and sound.
