"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.

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!

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...
