Little Helpers in the Kitchen *Learning Kitchen Safety in Kindergarten with Mother Goose Time*

Little Helpers in the Kitchen *Learning Kitchen Safety in Kindergarten with Mother Goose Time*

With each Mother Goose Time box that comes each month, there are some wonderful recipe cards with snack ideas for little ones. This month, the snack idea was for a happy face snack, since the unit theme is friends and feelings. The card not only is a good idea for a snack but a great way for little ones to help, as well as, learn kitchen safety in the process. First thing that my Elion tells…

Simple Ways to Adapt a Younger Curriculum to An Older Learner! **Mother Goose Time Learning for Everyone**

Discovering The Five Senses with Nature!

Teaching the five senses at a young age gives children a good base to start reflecting on using them as they get older and to learn with all five and not just one or two.  For instance, if we are taught to stop and smell the roses, we will often do that, whether on a nature hike or just in life.

Animal Homes Outside **Exploring with Mother Goose Time** The Importance of Outdoor Learning

Animal Homes Outside **Exploring with Mother Goose Time** The Importance of Outdoor Learning

This week we used our outdoor time to learn about/explore animal homes all around the area we are camping! Elion explored the area for spider webs (a spider’s home) first! I will admit there was no lack of spider webs around the camping area or the docks by the river. Exploring and learning outside is a good way for my daughter to learn because she loves being outside all the time. Mother Goose…
