FIRST Gymboree Class

This morning was a momentous day for our little one because it was his first ever gymboree class. We did the 10 am preview class (trial) at the Eastwood Mall branch. The L2 (Level 2) class is for babies 6-10 months. Today's class focused on "Acting with Purpose and Intention" activities. You were very shy at first and it's probably because you are used to being with so many people on a playmat. After a while though you managed to warm up and enjoy the class! 

Your teacher's name was Kim and you were 5 in class: Louie, Reese (the rose among the thorns), Wax Marcus and yourself. 

HIGHLIGHTS :

1. "Rocking Activities" to encourage the understanding of "cause and effect" and to promote body and balance awareness. You shared the equipment with your classmates to give you an opportunity to interact and socialize with your peers.

2. "Baby Soccer" - to expand knowledge of "cause and effect". Feeling the ball with your toes and seeing it move forward to the other baby teaches you that you can make things happen.

3. "Mini Chute Swing" - Henri was a bit scared of this one. He did this activity with Dada. This is to help develop a sense of where your bodies are in space.


4. Parents Sharing Time : Topic on Teething - All the mom's were asked to share a little about their own experience with teething. I shared that you have one tooth as of now and 2 more are just about to come out. I said that to soothe your painful gums, we give you teething biscuits and cold fruits inside a mesh feeder.

And then it was time to say goodbye to Jimbo the clown and all your other friends. Teacher Kim gave all of you Jimbo stamps because of a job well done! 

Kissing Jimbo goodbye!
