Our Time Classes

Fall 2008








Imagine the aroma of baking cookies, the coziness of the family kitchen, the
chatter among sisters, brothers, grandmas, granddads, mom and dad, and the
anticipation and excitement of having friends come to visit. These moments at
home are times to be shared and treasured. These special moments are
captured in
Milk & Cookies. As in the other units of Our Time, the
central focus of
Milk & Cookies is the toddler's need for security balanced
with his need for independence.
Milk & Cookies songs and activities promote
interaction between parent and child where the parent gently guides the
child's learning and the process of scaffolding takes place. Capturing the
security, excitement, and familiarity of "at home" moments is the ideal theme
for empowering the parent to act as teacher through scaffolding. What
better way for parents to lead their children with familiar, everyday home
activities such as cooking in the kitchen, dusting, and washing clothes?
