WHAT WE ARE LEARNING AT DAWNS DISCOVERY TREE HOUSE


WHAT WE ARE LEARNING AT

DAWNS DISCOVERY TREE HOUSE!

In Our Science Center



The children are looking at a large moth and they can see how it blends in with the stick. So we learned the word camouflage.


The Moths face looks like a birds face. We talked about how some insects can look like other predators so they don't become food.

We put the moth back into its natural environment.


Tray Tasking Center
The kids build many learning skills from exploring and playing on the trays.
They learn how things fit in their environment and the difference between large, medium, and small.
The children learn to sort by color and category, this helps with math skills. Its fun to
tray task because its not about worksheets its about doing. Its about manipulating and feeling what we are learning. It makes exploring and discovering our 5 senses fun while playing and learning!


Fitting the right animal puzzles in the correct space. This is difficult for a 1 yr old but
they love to try.

Learning the alphabet with puzzle pieces.

Bugs are great because you can put them in categories and talk about differences and similarities
and learn different bug types.


This game has many discoveries. Your learning shapes, sizes,
colors and smallest to greatest in size.

Using fine motor skills to manipulate the ball into
the gumball circle. This a great game for counting too. 

Sorting by color
