Autumn
this month the infants will celebrate the autumn season by taking outdoor walk to the market, freeway park, and the library. Teachers will also have gourds available as a new sensory work this month. for those infants that display signs of readiness (strength in hands and fingers), they can work on washing and drying pumpkins, which is a great fine motor as well as practical life exercise. younger infants will enjoy the activity block for fine motor practice, as well as new sensory rattles and leaf shakers!
Weekly Focus
Each week the infants teachers plan what the weekly focus will be. They do not need to guide infants on what to do with the focus work; the children can discover that on their own. A teacher's role is to observe and provide a demonstration when a child is developmentally ready to understand the purpose of a work.
