Hillside Findings

While out on the hillside, M yelled excitedly at something he found with a friend from Dogwood.

"Look! Look! It's little mushrooms!"

"They are brown and so small."

"Yeah, they are tiny! I don't know if there are anymore around here."

"See how tiny it is. I think they are poisonous!"

"Yeah, we can't eat these ones."

"I don't know how they got here."

"I think they just grew here."
"Someone planted them here!"

L soon became very interested in what the boys found. He examined the fungi with both his fingers and his eye.

"Look, there's the mushrooms!"

L dug around the surrounding area looking around for other small mushrooms to pick.

"I don't see anymore. I don't like them, they are yucky!"

M, W, & L continued their search around the hillside to find more mushrooms. They looked around in the grass and especially near trees. Although they were unsuccessful they were curious about how the mushrooms got there. How did the mushrooms appear? Are there other plants that pop up without anyone planting them?

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.

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...
