• Also, what is one way you could share vocabulary with babies and toddlers? 

I would choose this activity called; weather matching game for the children as it will teach the children to learn more about why the weather keeps changing over the year and introduces each season, first I will as the children to come for circle time and do the usual circle time songs and what date it is, and then ask them what weather it is outside and ask if it is summer or winter, and put out the matching game and show them each image showing all the seasons/or weather, and tell them we have to find the same image they have picked.

Vocabularies; I would reenact a word for one of the vocabulary and make a sound that corresponds to the vocabulary and ask what am I doing? Then tell them what it is for example; I am jumping on a puddy puddle ‘splash splash’ and ask what do you think I’m jumping on, then tell them ‘it’s a puddle!’ (Imaqsuk)

~Summer~

Being creative is all about fun with toddlers, we can do so much with painting Rainbows, counting rocks or using paper and glue to make black berry pictures using fine motor skills. Using vocabulary by counting or by adding different colours.

~Spring~

During the circle we always use the weather changing calendar, and we ask them how was the weather before you came here to daycare? And i well tell them about spring time, that the weather is changing and snow/ice is melting, there are so many activities they can do in the spring time, the sun is getting warmer, when the sun is getting warmer we start to do more outdoor play such a sliding, playing tag with friends using gross motor skills, and social, and we get to go fishing during spring with family and friends

Vocabulary; i would choose a book about spring time and read them to children at daycare, and ask them if they learn something new in the book

Winter ❄️

Outside play time, we can make a snow man together, make some snow angels and some sliding.

Share vocabulary by asking about where the snow comes from, many snowflakes falling to the ground and bundled up together which forms snow on the ground. Adding some words to put on the picture of the same images like a snow flake, a snowman a sled.

Fall is a beautiful weather to be out exploring with the children, picking some flowers,collecting rocks and throwing the rocks that we collected on our walk then stop a but to a big rock to see who goes the farthest who can throw.

Vocabulary doing some painting with the fall weather colours, collecting leaves to make pictures of they want to make and or make tree
