Feb. 5, 2010 at 1:48pm Movement... Miss Carol's theme of the week

Get out there and move!  Children need many opportunities to move around.  Large movements like running, skipping, hopping help children to learn how to control their large muscles or gross-motor skills.  This is important for learning balance, coordination, and even impulse control.  Small movements like scribbling, cutting with scissors, and opening evelopes help children learn how to control their small muscles or fine-motor skills.  This builds strength in the muscles children use to hold a pencil (an important step in learning to read and write).  Young children tend to be natural movers, but the action songs and fingerplays we use at stortyime are a fun way to use all those muscles. Plus, the children are learning a lot of great words and building up their vocabulary.
