Collaborative Art

The Pine friends were excited to share the collection of pine cones they found on our walk the other day with friends from Magnolia and Dogwood.

"Let's paint them the colors from that!"

J started working on painting her pine cone when she noticed the projected picture.

"I'm going to use those colors for mine and yellow because my shirt is yellow!"

"It's kind of sticky. I am making it blue."

A lot of the kids talked about how sticky the pine cones were.

"I think someone put glue on them."

"It's really sticky and makes my hands stick."

"I don't know how they get so sticky."

"It's called sap!"

"What's sap?"
"It's stuff on the pine cones."

A from Dogwood was interested in mixing two different colors to make a new one.

"I wonder what red and yellow make. Can I try it?"

A put some yellow paint into the container and then added red.

"Nothing happened!"

He stared at it for a moment, then mixed up the two colors.

"It turned orange!"

"Look it made orange! I want to mix red and blue next."

A continued to mix different colors and test them out on his pine cone.

Such a fun afternoon getting together with other classes and collaborating on art pieces that will be displayed for them to see.

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!
