In the Infant room we build on our self help skills, which also builds on our fine motor skills. Self help encourages autonomy and independence within our infant room.
Early Learning Guidelines: Beginning to Move and Do: Self Help Skills: Show increasing abilities in feeding, dressing, and personal hygiene
We explored sponges and water...
First we placed the sponges on the table and an empty water table near by...
He showed initiative by placing the sponges into the empty water table.
He continued his exploration by getting inside the water table. Teacher asked him if he wanted to put water in the water table. He nodded and got out of the water table. After we placed a small amount of water into the water table, he tried sitting in the water table again. He did not like the feeling and nonverbally communicated that he was wet. We changed his clothes and continued our exploration...
We begin splashing the water with our hands, then patting the sponges.
As we squeezed the water we watched the water drip from the sponge, down our arms and back into the water table.
Early Learning Guidelines:
- Approaches to Learning: Demonstrate curiosity by using all senses to explore new things in the environment; Demonstrate preferences and make independent choices; Demonstrate more complex problem solving skills
- Beginning to Move and Do: Fine Motor: Use hands and fingers in more complex and refined ways
In the Infant Room we are building relationships with others and with self. We are learning and practicing empathy, compassion, and sharing. We learn and practice while keeping an understanding of developmental milestones.
Sometimes we share ...
Sometimes we laugh ...
Sometimes we cry ...
All those emotions are ok. And acknowledging those emotions help to build our relationships, empathy, compassion ...
