September in Benjamin Preschool

Benjamin Preschool Senec


Ms. Lala's Class

This month in Miss Lala’s class we learned about our families and where we come from. Family members are the most important people in young children’s lives, and impact how infants and toddlers develop and learn. Introducing family members to toddlers is all about making the learning process enjoyable and relatable. We started by using simple, age-appropriate language and visuals, like photos or drawings, to help children associate faces and names. We then engaged them in fun activities, games, and songs that involve different family members to reinforce this learning. We also role-played as various family members to make the process interactive.



Ms. Anna's Class

Ms. Anna’s Class learned more about apples this month. Some apples are sweet, like a delicious dessert, while others are a little sour, like a funny face. I assessed the students background knowledge about apples. We talked about who liked apples, what we knew about them, where they came from and what colours they can be. 

Though we did an array of activities, making delicious applesauce was definitely a highlight. Children love this activity because they get to eat the end product, so it's a great way to sneak in a ton of other learning opportunities. I not only encouraged kids to eat healthy but made sure they had fun throughout.
