Surveying

B set out onto the playscape with one goal in mind, survey the plants around the property. He went straight to the far fence and noticed the rose bushes growing on the opposite side. 



B walked up and down the fence a few times looking through the holes and spaces between the structure. He began running his fingers along the bumpy divider and giggled along the way. 



B decided after a few passes by the fence that he wanted to check out other parts of the playscape. He would gaze through the leaves looking at the movement from the wind and the sun coming through the branches. 



 B walked down to the garden and began looking at the different herbs growing. He noticed the large sunflower dragging on the ground and giggled before stepping over it. B then went behind some trees to look a little closer. 



Once again, B stared through the leaves and the trees. It had me wondering what was so intriguing about the plants. Was it the breeze creating movement within the leaves? Or was it the sun catching the color of the leaves just right? B quietly walked off to his next destination into the garden. 


B made a few loops between the shed and the fence on the far side of the garden. He climbed over obstacles in his way and even had a few friends following his lead. 


B finished his surveying by looking at the corn in the garden. He stopped for only a minute to see the plants looking down on him. Before I knew it, he was headed towards the slide to for one final pass before heading inside.

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!
