Making the Rainbow

The afternoon was filled with all kinds of colors and experimenting. As we continue on our exploration of painting, Pine friends tested out another way to paint: eyedroppers.

As L pulled the eyedropper out of the dark blue water he noticed all of the air bubbles in the slender tube. He immediately squeezed the rubber tip and watched as the blue water shot out.

"Look it's coming out! It's melting."

B excitedly filled up his eyedropper with pink.

He repeatedly filled the eyedropper with the colored water and giggled as it shot out of the small opening.

"It's turning blue."

"It's green!"

"I'm making a rainbow."

"Look! It's so high up now."

"I want to mix up all of the colors."

"I'm using two so I can mix the colors."

"Look, if you mix blue with the yellow it will make green!"

As we move through this new week of school the Pine room will continue their exploration of colors and painting. We can't wait to see how else we can make a rainbow!

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.

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on. "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log. S swung with grace over the ground. The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns. Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try. L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...

Creek Time

Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!
