| Let's Play (and Learn!)  Did you know that when preschoolers play, they learn? It's true! During September, encourage your preschooler to play. Then visit the library to find a book about the activity.
We're learning Language and Literacy Skills Do it! Have your preschooler to "read" a book to you by using the pictures to tell the story. It is Night by Phyllis Rowand. The Bus for Us by Suzanne Bloom. We're learning Mathematical Skills Do it! Play shape and color hunt with your preschooler. Ask her to find something that is shaped like a circle. Or find something that is blue. Do the same thing with other shapes and colors. Read it! One Mole Digging a Hole by Julia Donaldson and Nick Sharratt. 365 Penguins by Jean-Luc Fromental and Joëlle Jolivet. We're learning Scientific Thinking Skills Do it! Take your preschooler to the grocery store. Look at fruits, vegetables, cans and boxes. Talk about the different shapes, colors, and sizes. Use words like same and different. Read it! Mrs. McNosh and the Giant Squash by Sarah Weeks. Put it on the list by Kristen Darbyshire. We're learning Social and Emotional Development Do it! Make a height chart with paper. Place the paper against the wall or door and ask your preschooler to stand with his back against the chart. Mark his height and date it. Try this again in three months and talk about the change. Read it! Actual Size by Steve Jenkins. Say Please, Little Bear by Peter Bentley.
