Teacher Regine Aniban from Little Presidents' Learning Palace used the circle stamping activity for her pre-toddler class! According to her, the kids really had so much fun stamping the circle! It was a very simple yet also creative and enjoyable activity. She shared some photos with me through facebook and allowed me to share it with you, my dear readers. Enjoy! Thank you Teacher Regine! :) . Materials used.... . Kids at work...Read More » Tags

Hug by Jez Alborough
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 10th, 2010
Just seeing the front cover already caught my attention! It's a really cute story about a baby monkey who just really wants a hug! Who would've thought that a book containing only ONE word would be so much fun? Children of all ages can relate to it... from the tiny toddlers to the grown up kindergartners.The book is simply about a little monkey taking a walk around the jungle. He sees different animal cubs and their mommies all hugging. The ...Read More » Tags

Cats the Musical
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 10th, 2010
Oh my gosh! no words can explain how happy I was... or still am that I got to watch this!!! I've wanted so bad to watch it but can't due to money constraints. Just the night before, my good friend, Fil told me that he got complimentary tickets and asked if I wanted to go with him. It was really a spur of the moment.. but hey, that's CATS!!! Had to make time for that! So what if I was tired and lacked sleep? There was no way I was missing out on t...Read More » Tags

Ladybug Ladybug!
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 7th, 2010
Besides circles, we are also currently discussing the color red! Hence... the red apples and now, the ladybug! :) We started off by reading the Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle! We did however have to simplify it since we were dealing with toddlers! After telling them the story, we showed them our ladybug! I let them play with it a little and later on asked them if they wanted to make a ladybug of their own! So if you want to make one too.. here'...Read More » Tags

Fruit Loop Bracelets
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 31st, 2010
Children.. and even adults love eating fruit loops! So why not use this to further strengthen the lesson? This specific activity is actually a lacing activity that helps develop fine motor skills. It would also be easier for older kids to do since young children’s fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. Still, the end product works for all ages. The teachers simply need to assist the young children more in doing this activity. Since w...Read More » Tags

The Hungry Caterpillar goes ROUND and COLORFUL
by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 27th, 2010
This week, the kiddos are learning all about the circle shape! Shapes are such a fun thing to teach because there's just so many things we can do! Though, we do have to restrict ourselves from doing too much cause we might ran out of activities for future lessons. (hehe) - For our circle activity, we decided to have the children make caterpillars! If you're a kindergarten teacher, I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say there are several w...Read More » Tags
