Appleseeds Begins!

Thank you for visiting! This blog is to reflect on our weeks here together at Appleseeds Home Nursery. I am excited to see how the year unfolds with the changing of the seasons. I hope this blog gives the reader a better sense of what our day looks like and why I believe play is so crucial to child development.

Valentine love

We had a fun and early Valentine's day, which I am grateful for since the weather wound up being prohibitive on Thursday! The children spent the past several days painting their paper for Valentine pouches, sewing them up and gluing on extra hearts. It was fun to watch how proud they were to pass a Valentine to each friend and how pleased they were to receive each one. Snack was a special treat of heart-shaped scones with whipped cream and strawberries. We had children working their hand dexterity this week with heart-shaped hole-punchers, punching colorful hearts which they later used to sell in their "store". 

Thanks to our prolonged cold spells, the children are getting far more adept at putting on their snowpants, boots, jackets, more jackets, fiddly little gloves and mittens, and hats mostly by themselves. It is cumbersome to wear those clothes and requires a bit more motivation to move, but they have it! Day after day of zipping and unzipping, pulling on boots, flipping jackets, and buttoning sweaters has given them the skills for this. After plenty of (previous) weeks of playing with mud and water, they are very skilled at pouring their own water from a large glass pitcher into their (breakable!) mugs at snack. Children who are normally boisterous are very calm and collected carrying an almost full cup of water in the nursery!
