Cups in Kitah Gimmel

Cups and lids, simple as that!
We brought in cups and lids one day and put them out on our table. 
That’s it.  The yeladim were drawn to it as soon as they came into the classroom …it opened up some incredible discoveries…


It was a social time for a group of 3 to gather and have conversation and ‘coffee’ together (friendship and conversational skills building) …


It became a discovery time on seeing what fits in the cups (spacing and problem solving skills) …


It was an observation of modeling (“This is how my mommy likes it!”)…


It became a stacking time, first with lids then without (fine motor, spacing, and balancing)…




It became a counting and matching activity….


It became an experiment and observation of tilting and stacking, jiggling and leaning (fine motor, problem solving, balancing skills) ….


Learning occurs in the simplest things and in the yeladim's own hands!
