Baby Doll Circle Time

By -

 One of the things that makes Magnolia Room such a special place is how we work together to process our big emotions. Ms. Erin and Ms. Nicki have tried very hard to make Magnolia a safe place for all the feelings preschoolers feel. 

Inspired by our work with the program Conscious Discipline, today we introduced baby doll circle time at meeting.  This is a curriculum piece of Conscious Discipline that encourages attachment, attunement, and social play.  During the 2020 school year Ms. Nicki and Ms. Erin were awarded two grants to help fund this program.  We are so excited to learn it together.  The children love the babies and did a great job taking care of them today.

Conscious Discipline is a wonderful program that helps children work through big emotions. There are so many free resources for parents that align with what we do in Magnolia Room. Check out the website below specifically for families at home.

Science Experiment

One of our favorite science activities is using baking soda and vinegar.  There are so many different ways to experiment with them.  Check out the video below for a fun idea!  I also like to add food coloring to small cups/jars of vinegar.  You can use any kind of dish to spread out baking soda.  Then with a dropper add the different colors of vinegar to it.  You can use medicine droppers, straws, or even small spoons to add the liquid to the powder. What did you observe?  Here is how it went out at our house. Kennedy and Keegan in action  Even my 5th grader Kellan was amazed!  When they were done they wanted to pour the cups out to see what would happen.  So cool!
