💃🧠 Movement Time = Brain Time! 🕺🎉
Our classes LOVE Movement Time — and it’s more than just fun and games (though there's plenty of that too!).
While dancing, jumping, and playing, our learners are also building powerful executive functioning skills like:
🔹 Impulse control – learning when to stop, go, and change direction
🔹 Cognitive flexibility – switching between movements and adapting to new rules
These brain-boosting skills help children focus, follow directions, and manage emotions — all while having a blast! 🎶🧠💪

🧠✨ Right Brain Fun in Full Swing! ✨🧠
Our right brain classroom has been *buzzing* with creativity, curiosity, and construction this week! 🧱🖍📚
The kids have been busy:
🔤 Practicing their letter-making skills
👷♂️ “Working on the construction site” with blocks and tools
👀 Observing the world around them with curious eyes
👂 Listening to engaging stories that spark the imagination
🧩 Building, creating, and exploring through hands-on play
It’s amazing to see their minds light up as they learn through movement, storytelling, and discovery. Every day is an adventure in here—and we’re loving every moment of it! ❤️

🧠🎨 Right Brain Fun with Numbers! 🔢💡
In our Right Brain classroom, we explored numbers in creative and meaningful ways — using our imaginations to guide our learning! 🌈✨
💫 We practiced nonstandard measurement by counting with everyday objects — discovering that math is all around us!
🔠 We counted the letters in our names, celebrating how unique and special each of us is!
📊 And we used a graph to compare quantities — learning about more and less through visual storytelling.
These hands-on experiences help our learners build number sense while engaging the creative, emotional, and intuitive parts of the brain. 🎶❤️🧩

🌱🔍 Exploring with Our Left Brain Learners! 🔍🌱
In our Left Brain classroom, curiosity was blooming just like the plants we observed! 🌼🪴
Our little scientists practiced important observation and classification skills by:
✨ Looking closely at real plants and noticing their shapes, textures, and colors
🪨 Sorting objects by texture — discovering the difference between rough and smooth
🎨 Identifying and grouping objects by color with excitement and focus!
These activities strengthen critical thinking, attention to detail, and logical reasoning — all key functions of the Left Brain! 🧠
