'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.

End of the year!

 

Happy Wednesday!

 Today was super fun not only with Ms.Amy, but we had a special visitor on the playscape…an orange cat!

Welcome back!!

 I hope you all enjoyed your long break together. We are back at it with our same centers and focus words UP and DOWN. This will be the last week for our current activities and will change it up for the last 2 weeks before our next BIG break. Only 12 days left together for the year and we are counting down!  Please help us celebrate:  Pine’s Friendsgiving Feast! Your kiddos have been hard at work filling each other's buckets through acts of kindness. They earned a special celebration before the Thanksgiving break but we held off our celebration so all friends could participate. Today we read a book called Feast for 10 and were inspired by some ingredients. If you would like to help us celebrate our friendship and donate to our feast, we would love it! Our plan is to celebrate on Thursday Dec 5th. Thanks :) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zu9-130U8W6xGWiNsdlLMXYA9q8yOASwtSEybrST3Rc/edit?usp=sharing
