🐄 Meet Penny, the newest member of the Woodbridge School family! 🧀The Elms Pre-K class has adopted a dairy cow again this year, and we're excited to introduce Penny, who lives on a farm in Vermont! Throughout the school year, the children will receive updates about Penny, track her growth on a class chart, and learn all about the important role farms play in our communities.To kick off their investigation, the class held a Cheese Tasting Day! Each student brought in a different milk-based cheese and worked together to carefully cut, arrange, and serve a beautiful charcuterie board for their friends. As they sampled the different varieties, they learned about the many types of cheese, stepped outside their comfort zones to try new flavors, and asked thoughtful questions along the way.We're already seeing their curiosity grow, and we can't wait to see where Penny's updates, the children's questions, and their discoveries about far#andovermau#earlychildhoodA#prekrMA #EarlyChildhood #PreK

Building Number Literacy Through a Reggio-Inspired Lens
In a Reggio Emilia-inspired classroom, mathematics is not taught as a separate subject. Instead, number literacy grows naturally through children's investigations, play, and relationships with the world around them. At Woodbridge School, we view math as one of the many languages children use to make sense of their experiences.
