'It's a Snowman!"

W sat at the table and grabbed a hunk of playdoh. He started diving the playdoh into small uneven amounts. 


He picked up the first piece and gently rolled it between his palms and set it to the side. W continued to roll several more dough pieces between his hands to create different sized balls. 

"It's a ball!"


After rolling several different balls out he started stacking them up one on top of the other. 
"It's a snowman!"

He added the last ball on top when the tower of balls started falling over. 
"Oh no!"

W grabbed onto all of the balls to try and prevent the structure from falling over. 


He steadied the tower, but within seconds it fell over. 

"Oh no! Stop that!"



W tried several more times to try and keep the tower standing. No luck. 



W's persistence is undeniable. He seems to set small goals for himself as he plays. In the video above you get a quick sample of W's interaction with different materials and the imaginative play he engages in as he works.

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! 

Our week ends

 Happy Thursday Pine Family! Today we wrapped up with our magic words GET and WHAT and our centers. Next week will be brand new, maybe you can try to guess what we might be learning! Since it was very muddy on the hillside we did gross motor time inside and had fun exploring together in the gym. While we played, we also worked on our beautiful class project for the auction, hope you will all come bid on it! Can your kiddo remember how many friends we wished well today? Can they remember their names? We ended our day with story time and our "What filled your bucket today?" Have a great weekend!
