If you wanted to learn more about inquiry-based learning, the basis of our education program Wonder of Learning™, we’ve got a book for that! Curious Blueberry the Carousel Horse follows Blueberry and her friends as their world opens up when children begin asking questions. You’ll do the same with cues throughout the book to ask your little ones open-ended questions. Plus, there’s a bonus section that provides even more inquiry-based learning prompts.

At The Goddard School® of Urbana II, we love seeing all of the creative lunches your children bring to School. We also know that packing lunch can be tedious for many reasons. Make it a little more fun with these great lunch hacks for busy families!
🍎 Freeze foods like yogurt, apple sauce pouches and juice boxes ahead of time. They’ll thaw in time for lunch!
🍎 Use cupcake liners to separate food in lunch boxes.
🍎 Make your own crustless sandwiches with a mason jar, round cookie cutter or crimper.
🍎 Place plastic wrap over foods that may leak, like watermelon or salad dressing, in a bento-style lunch box.
🍎 Slice a slit into a banana to help your child peel it easier. Don’t slice too much because you don’t want it to brown. Extra credit: Write a cute note or draw a silly face on the banana peel with edible markers or a toothpick!

Children experience all the same emotions as adults, but they aren’t yet equipped with the tools to handle those feelings. The first step toward understanding their big feelings is helping them learn how to recognize and name their emotions. At Urbana II we like asking open-ended questions like “What is something that makes you happy or sad?” or “Can you show me what face you make when you are happy, sad or angry?” This gives children the opportunity to share their emotions and show what they know about them. This exercise had Goddard students using emojis to identify each emotion in honor of World Emoji Day. 😊😕😆😥😴 Give it a try with your little one!

Did you know that between the ages of 2 and 5 years old, children ask an average of 40,000 questions? We say, bring them on! Our Wonder of Learning™ education program, found only at The Goddard School®, is the most innovative, well-researched program on the market, focused on how children learn best: through play, exploration and following their natural curiosity. By asking questions and finding their own answers (then asking more questions!), children develop a lifelong love of learning.
