Ms Mashaya's Classroom 2

Hello, Classroom 2 Parents!

July has been a hot and humid month! The children have loved playing in the water while being outdoors! We had the opportunity to practice cooperative play and sharing while also exploring and enjoying the sensory experience of manipulating fluid materials. In August we will be focusing on creative skills. Creative expression is an essential element of building knowledge. Infants, toddlers, and twos begin to explore and interact with materials, providing opportunities to develop and express individual ideas, feelings and interests. Creative art activities promote the development of self-esteem, individuality, and imagination. They can also reflect on the child’s culture and family experiences. While experimenting with sounds, movement, dramatic play, and their senses, children communicate in ways uniquely their own and reveal their own learning style. Each mark on a paper, pretend scenario, or invented song provides us with a glimpse into a child’s interest and abilities. We will provide appropriate materials that encourage movement, dramatic play, sensory awareness, self expression, and exploration. The more curious a child is, the more they will learn! Thank you, Mashaya Wagy Master Teacher DCDC- Downtown
