African Animals
This month, we have several infants on the verge of walking. It’s an exciting time in their development and a privilege to witness in the classroom! To support this developmental milestone, we have several “pushing works” in our environment. (This is something you can emulate at home if your child is close to walking.) Pushing work helps prepare an infant for weight shifting to their feet, strengthens hand-eye and bilateral coordination, and encourages the movement of walking! We have several rolling carts and cars throughout the classroom for students to enjoy.
Welcome to February in the Infant room, where we will learn all about different animals that live in Africa! A sensory bin filled with yarn grass hides various safari animals for the infants to dig and explore. Lions, hippos, giraffes, and more are found throughout the room, as seen on puzzles, flash cards, books, and large animal figures on our shelves. We also have some fun music from Ethopia that we will play for the infants during our music & movement hour during the afternoons. So much fun!
