While we all know fine motor skills are important, but do your little learners have enough opportunities to practice them?
I knew during play that most all of my centers have fine motor practice available. But, I also found that some of my students weren't using the fine motor activities that were incorporated into the centers.
Time to "think outside the box"! Actually, time to think inside of the boxes! Literally! This little set of boxes and the activities that I created to fill them have helped my students with fine motor skills and I hope they will help yours too!
Stay tuned!

We've all heard those words - "I HAD THAT FIRST!"
Conflicts in a preschool classroom are common. Whenever we put children together who are still learning appropriate social skills and who haven't mastered conflict resolution yet, it's going to happen!
These moments of conflict are the perfect opportunity for us to step in and coach our students. There is so much we can teach students in the moment!
In this episode I will take a deep dive into why teaching conflict resolution in preschool is so beneficial, when to teach it, and a step by step of how to coach your students through those unavoidable moments of conflict!

Have you tried bringing a Literacy Unit into your Fall Thematic Unit?
It’s what I have been doing for the past several years and I love it!
Many times when we have a thematic unit around fall or autumn we focus on reading themed books. The books might revolve around apples, pumpkins, leaves, and fall in general.
We also bring that thematic flair to the art center or we bring autumn into our sensory tub. We may add pumpkins to the science center and create a pumpkin patch in our dramatic play area!
We plan our lessons with the theme in mind too, but when it came to literacy, I felt like something was missing and wanted to go deeper than just reading the story.
Tune in to find out how I add literacy to our fall unit!

Let’s get cutting! Cutting skills and preschool go hand in hand. Many times it is the first time that children have been allowed to use scissors.
So, it’s important that we understand the continuum in which children’s cutting skills develop. To make it a little easier to remember, I created a printable Preschool Cutting Continuum graphic that you can grab at the link below!
Tune in to learn about all things preschool cutting!
