Back to School Month

The kids are slowly making their way to understanding routines and expectations of school.  This month in SPOT, we will be supporting that with language, music, movement and other activities.

We will be introducing the children to Spot, our mascot (stuffed animal) through a fun movement story about how he goes to school.  Basic concepts like stop/go will be incorporated using fun song, rhymes and activities.  Fine motor play and other prewriting skills will be incorporated with Tag Bags, fun fasteners tasks, playful worksheets completed in different ways and many other fun activities.

To help your child cope with the new routine, remember to encourage a healthy and consistent sleep pattern.  Try to get your child to go to bed around the same time each night so that he or she is ready to explore and play.  If you create your own special routine, your child will know what to expect and lessen anxiety.
