Ms. Joerres's Terrific Two's: Monday

Happy Monday 😊 I hope your weekend was relaxing and fun! I am excited to jump into this week. Goodbye farm, hello Easter! Some good reminders are sensory activities are always a good way to let your kiddos explore. Even filling a small bowl with water and giving measuring cups while on the kitchen floor is fun. Kiddos can practice dumping and filing while exploring concepts such as full, empty, half, some, and all while using fine motor skills. This simple activity supports early science and math skills as well.
