After so many rainy days, the fabulous 5s were super excited to go outside. The weather now is nearly perfect! On this Autumn day we set up lots of fun activities including basketball, hula hoops, and a pretend neighborhood. You can see the kids enjoyed playing with all the activities but especially driving their tricycles and cars along the road. I love that at this age you can really turn any activity into a learning activity. Playing outside is traditionally thought of as "break time" for the kids but they can work on so many things. Just to hi-lite a few on this day we worked on gross motor skills, social play and language, taking turns, following directions, and new vocabulary. Not only that but they got all their wiggles out so they would be ready for lunch and naptime. Another fabulous day in the 5s!
