Welcome


Welcome to the Mom's Morning Out Blog! We are here to share with you some of the great activities we participate in every day at MMO and to give you some ideas on how to carry those activities over into your home. Because of our varied age group we aren't your typical preschool learning environment, we learn on the go and while we play, which is the best way to have it in our opinion! Our theme, shapes, letters and colors are introduced at the beginning of our day, usually through the chalk board and manipulatives we have out and reinforced during snack and circle time. Our themes at MMO are reinforced through our craft activities and the stories we choose to read each week. Learning at MMO is never forced and always fun. We try and expose the children to early learning skills through fun play and exploration. We hope you enjoy our blog and we'd love to hear your feedback! Be sure to check out our website!

Happy 4th of July!



This week we got a jumpstart on celebrating the adoption of The Declaration of Independence in 1776 which declared America's independence from Great Britain...aka 4th of July...by reading some books about 4th of July and Independence Day and creating our own Fireworks on paper. These fireworks were made with our special 'sparkly paint' mixture and a straw and your child's blowing power!  The kids explored a new method of painting by using the breath to blow the paint around on the page to make "Fireworks".  They came out great and they had a ton of fun using this non traditional method to paint.



Below are some of the great books we checked out this week!  You can click on them to find them on Amazon.com if you are interested in adding them to your library.

Be sure to join us next week as we jump feet first into our Summer Theme! :)  Have a safe and Happy 4th Everyone!
