Mail Time

/
child develop independence by accomplishing small task daily

Getting the mail was one task this little guy remember to do everyday. He enjoyed walking out with the key to open and close the mailbox on his own. This is one way we indirectly showed him, how to do something independently in his everyday life. He also learned how to coordinate his hands to help him open and close the box while handling the mail. So cute to wacth! 

After he mastered getting the mail on his own we :

- Placed the mail key in a accessible place for him to find it when he needs it.

- Set appropriate responsibility and expected him put the mail key in its place.

- Had him sort the mail (envelopes on onside side and newspapers on the other).

On to 1st grade!

So proud of our little guy! watching him flourish everyday into this moment has been such a rich experience. I am most happy that he is happy and looks forward to 1st grade. I remember going through school and not looking forward to anything school had to offer. We can thankfully say the opposite for him. Go Zire!!!!

Exploring the Ocean Floor

/ A Little Room 2 Grow/

So we went on a surprise kindergarten field trip to Biscayne Nature Center and what an amazing time we all had. We explored so many types of sea creatures as we used a huge nets to scoop them out. The best part was that he got to find, see, touch & learn about each unique fish he caught. I loved the idea of going to a place that offered interactive experience for all ages. Mommy approved!
