Still leaning in at Toddler Time this week! Today, we learned about the different types of fruits that tiny hands can plant, pick, smell, and enjoy. Some are sweet, small, and soft, such as berries. In addition, our toddlers put the lesson into practice by tasting fresh strawberries and making matching crafts!🍓 Welcome to the new Moms who joined us today. Have a great day!

Today's lesson was on all things sunny! Our readers discussed topics related to the sun, such as the weather, what we eat, and when we go to sleep. Whether you live on a farm or in the city, your life is affected by the sun. Let's get out there and enjoy it this summer!

The PebbleGo Summer Reading Road Trip is a free, self-guided program designed to prevent the dreaded Summer Slide and keep kids learning, curious, and engaged during summer break.

Each week, students will:
- Visit a new national park
- Explore related PebbleGo articles
- Complete fun activities and worksheets
- Earn badges for finishing challenges

It’s the perfect mix of learning + adventure, helping students build knowledge while having fun.

How it works?

Have parents register their kids to receive everything they need to get started. Register here.
Kids read or listen to PebbleGo articles and complete weekly activities and challenges to reinforce learning.
As kids make their way across our national park system, they’ll earn digital badges to celebrate their progress.

Today's Toddler Time was a perfect example of leaping to learn. When a book is properly introduced to a reader, he or she will be inspired to move towards it. After our toddlers look and listen to the sounds and images, they want to learn more, as seen today. Let us continue to inspire our young readers to keep leaping to learn!
