Teacher For a Day

At our meeting this afternoon J asked if she could be the teacher. The kids looked quite surprised when I said yes! A huge smile spread across J's face and she proudly sat in front of her peers. She began meeting the way we always do, singing a welcome song to each of our friends. 

J showed the class the rhythm they needed to follow by tapping her knees. The class followed. She sang for each friend and even guided those who needed some help to find their names and match it to their pictures. 



Next, J wanted to share our afternoon schedule with the class. She held up the visual schedule and began explaining what the Pine kids were going to do today. 
"We got to play in the boxes, and then we are at meeting. We get to caper today too then we eat snacks."

She nailed it! 


To end our meeting, J read a book out to all of the kids. She followed along with the pictures and pretended to read the words that were across the page. 


By the end of the day J was happy to hand over the teacher badge and walkie talkie.
"I'm done being teacher. Maybe I can be it tomorrow in Maple."

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!
