Fun Filled February
It seems to us that February tugs at our hearts. Why is that so? I think we know!!
Our minds tend to wander towards Spring. Could it be that Spring is in the air?
Our garden is growing, our trees are budding, the birds are singing. With this in mind, take the time to point out and pay attention to the minor details and minuscule wonders within a child’s world.
Time, patience and awareness is what draws attention to the five senses, giving our children a life-long understanding and appreciation of sights, smells, textures, tastes and sounds around them. All of this valuable experience is available to us when we pause long enough to observe our surroundings mindfully.
“All knowledge begins in observation.”*
Making more time to observe means increasing the number of opportunities we provide for our children to experience themselves as active participants in the world.
Remember, learning is endless.
Love,
Ms. Val
