You can extend this month’s curriculum instruction at home! One idea is to collect child-safe recycled materials for an engaging activity with your little one — like fabric, boxes, or paper. For our littlest learners, they can explore the different textures with you, which can strengthen their fine motor skills! Older learners can help sort and recycle the items with you, boosting early math skills and reinforcing the importance of respecting nature and our environment.
