Curriculum
Gross Motor
Every day the class starts with a physical task. It might be a scavenger hunt, following a map,
or an obstacle course. As children engage in this activity, they are developing physical endurance and balance.
Fine Motor
Children need to develop the small muscles in their fingers before they can learn to write.We work on helping these muscles get stronger
every day by using tweezers, shucking corn or collecting small items like acorns or seeds.
Social & Emotional
Developing social and emotional skills are a top priority at Ta’am Teva. We work on helping children recognize their emotional spectrum and practice calming techniques like breathing and thoughtfully channeling emotions positively.
Literacy
Whether it is finding letters in nature, making alphabet soup in the mud kitchen or playing tree tag with letters, children are exposed to literacy skills daily. Children also listen to stories and write their own.
Math
Children are constantly counting, comparing sizes and recognizing shapes outdoors. For example, we use thermometers with numbers so children can develop math skills in ways that are meaningful to them.
Science
Good observation skills are important for any budding scientist and we work on that area every day at Ta’am Teva. Children notice the differences in temperature, wind, plants and animals through hands on lessons.
