Way Up High in an Apple Tree

Way up high in an apple tree,
Five red apples smiled at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could,
Dooowwwwwwwn came an apple,
Mmmm, it was good!

Measuring pumpkins

You can add math learning fun for your child by exploring measuring and weighing at the pumpkin patch. Most pumpkins are purchased by the pound, so you’ll need to weigh any pumpkin you choose. It’s a great opportunity to teach about scales and measuring with a fun hands-on activity this Fall.

Cognitive Development

Development in the domain of cognition involves the processes by which young children grow and change in their abilities to pay attention to and think about the world around them. Infants and young children rely on their senses and relationships with others; exploring objects and materials in different ways and interacting with adults both contribute to children’s cognitive development.
