Song of the Month

"Everything Grows"

Everything grows and grows
Babies do Animals too
Everything grows
Everything grows and grows
Sisters do Brothers too
Everything grows
A blade of grass, fingers and toes
Hair on my head, a red, red rose
Everything grows, anyone knows
That's how it goes

Metric Concept

Young children apply early concepts of measurement in many of their everyday activities. They compare sizes of toys and portions of food, their own height to another’s, and the weights of two objects. In exploring ways of comparing, they may use non-standard measurement tools such as hands and fingers to estimate length, blocks or squares for area, and sand and water for capacity.

Social-Emotional

Social and emotional development encompasses young children’s evolving capacity to form close and positive adult and peer relationships; to actively explore and act on the environment in the process of learning about the world around them; and to experience, regulate, and express a full range of positive and negative emotions in socially and culturally appropriate ways.
