This week in preschool!
We’re noticing a huge jump in development in the gross motor area. Gross motor is all your child’s large working muscles. For example, we’ve noticed that a lot of friends are starting to use the pedals on the tricycles. Not only is this gross motor development but it’s also evidence of bilateral movement. Bilateral movement is evidence that both hemispheres of the brain are connecting and working together!
We’ve also noticed an upswing of autonomy around the classroom. Friends are doing things on their own and doing them correctly. From hand washing to cleaning up after themselves, they’re showing us they’re independent beings. We’re so proud of how far we’ve all come.
In Judaic lessons we’ve been talking about Shavuot. We talk about which mountain got the Torah and how it was a humble mountain. Small and plain and did not hold itself high. We use this to teach about humbleness and how important it is to practice.
