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."

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...
