A Toad!

We found a toad! While playing on the hillside, a group of both Dogwood and Pine friends came across something they have never noticed on the grassy hill: a toad! Many kids kept a safe distance from the toad that hopped around. Many of the kids watched in silence as it traveled around, but others had many questions, comments, and squeals! 

"It's so brown! It's hard to see."
"I can't see it."



"It looks like the tree!"
"I think he's invisible."




"He jumped in here."
"I think he went to his house."
"He is hot, he needs to cool off."


After the toad jumped into the tree, K and J found something else that looked particularly interesting. Soon, a crowd formed around a small dark shape. 

"We found another frog!"
"I think he's going to jump out."
"That's not a frog... it's a rock!"

It was, indeed, a rock. After inspecting it for a few seconds the kids all agreed it was just a dusty rock that happened to look like the toad.

Rainbow Snow!

  The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow.  "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
