"I Noticed Something"

The Pine friends always look forward to forest days and today was no exception. About halfway through their play, M yelled from across the forest,

"Hey, I noticed something! I need to show you a secret thing."

M walked through the forest ducking under branches & pushing others out of his way.

"If you look over here this log goes all the way up."

M carefully climbed up onto the log making sure he still had the large stick in his hand. He seemed to use it as a guide.

"Nobody has ever climbed up this tree, but I'm going to!"

M started walking across the log. He stepped over the crisscrossing branches in the way of his route. M used the stick to balance himself as he walked.

M stopped for a moment and pointed straight ahead.

"It goes all the way over there to that tree. I'm going to climb there."

M walked a little farther and stopped again.

"I'm afraid of heights, I think I am going to get down now."

M was intrigued by the log reaching across the forest. He looked lat the other side of the log with interest and decided that he was going to try again another day.

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...
