Have you heard about this new trend call THE INTERNET? Of course you have... unless you've been trapped underground for the past 2 decades! There are billions of internet users around the world, and most fail to realize the power the internet has! Businessmen and entrepreneurs especially, do not yet realize how the internet is slowly taking over everything!

Guess the Smell
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 29th, 2010
Whenever we start discussing about the nose, one of the first activities that come to mind is a SMELLING activity, and this is just that! We always give much importance to the primary colors and the different tastes, but we fail to realize that knowing the difference scents is also as important. Experts say that it is important to involve toddlers in sensory play that help develop their various senses, including the sense of smell. Difficult...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Elephant Mask
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 25th, 2010
If you're a preschool teacher, then ELMER by David McKee is one story I think you should know! The story may be a little complicated for toddlers, though it may be simplified. Still, I think it's one of the cutest stories around! Plus, the follow up activities are always so much fun to do! After reading this story to the kids, we decided to make some masks and look just like Elmer! My partner found the pattern from the internet, and I suggeste...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Edible Slime for Halloween
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 22nd, 2010
Halloween just wouldn't be complete without SLIME! I couldn't miss out on this opportunity! For the past two weeks, my tutee has been begging me to make slime! I think her curiosity started because of Nickelodeon and all the slime they use! So anyway, I figured I'll just have her make goo since it was something I was already familiar with. However, after browsing the internet for more fun activities, I came across a recipe for edible slime... ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Creepy and Cute Spiders
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 18th, 2010
Halloween is coming up so we decided to make some creepy spiders! I didn't do the activity with my usual toddler class... instead I did it with my 7 year old tutee and her 2 year old brother. Before beginning the activity, you can always sing the famous Itsy Bitsy Spider! Older kids might find this boring, but my 2 year old student sure loves this song! I always like pretending my hands are spiders and then I start tickling the kids! The kid...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Much Fun at the Blue Water Day Spa Fun Run
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 17th, 2010
I was first informed of the race last August 2010. I was sure to register not only because of the fun events afterward, but also because I was invited by my brother and other runners. I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet new friends and see friendly faces. . JAZZ UP YOUR SINGLET I was already registered as early as the first week of September! I was trying to decide HOW I was to design my singlet. I may be a teacher, but I'm...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Going on a Bear Hunt
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 16th, 2010
We're going on a bear hunt is a book written by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury. It's such a fun and interactive story in which it would be impossible for a child to just sit and listen... (unless the teacher says so I guess). The book is about a family going on a bear hunt! On their way, they come across several obstacles. "Uh-oh, mud! Thick oozy mud! Can't go over it, can't go under it. Uh-oh, we have to go through it!" If you can draw or p...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 13th, 2010
We all need shoes... and from this need, our wants grow! Wanting to have new and cute shoes... wanting to give our kids new and cute shoes too! But, since the kids grow up so quickly, these shoes also quickly shrink! (Yes, the shoes shrink!..kiddin' of course) So what do we do with these shoes? Give them away or throw them in the garbage! Well, just before letting these go, why not have a fun and messy art activity with the kids first! . Wh...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Sock Puppets
by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 12th, 2010
Making puppets or at least seeing puppets is one experience every preschooler should go through! Besides the activity's connection to our current lesson on feet, it was also a good way to help those kids who feared puppets. Puppets can be anything you want them to be... animals, community helpers, family members or the students themselves! It's really easy to connect with whatever lesson you have. Since we are still learning a lot about our se...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )
