The Origin School System

Introduction to sponging.
Sponging is one of the first basic lessons a child learns in an Early Childhood classroom.
Sponging Learning Aims
The child develops visual discrimination and fine motor skills. He also works on focus and concentration. Completing a “work cycle” (i.e. from taking the tray from the shelf to putting the work back onto the shelf once finished) is a goal at this stage too. Early science concepts, such as absorption, are introduced while the child works with sponging water.
