Room 1 - Toddlers
Miss Kathy, Miss Maria

Room 1 has been busy with so many activities. We learn through many different ways. One of our favorites is by cooking. So far we have made applesauce and brownies. The children have an opportunity to learn many things while cooking, as well as having fun. They are testing all their senses - by tasting the yummy food; by smelling all of the ingredients; by watching the ingredients change their appearance as we add more and by seeing the finished product; and many times by touching the food. We are also learning to count, as each child has an opportunity to stir the batter 10 times while everyone counts out loud together. Most of our cooking experiences also tie into whatever concept we are working on. For example, we made the brownies while working on the color brown. By constant repetition, children can learn so many things – and have so much fun in the process!
