Tracing

The light projector was a huge hit yesterday, so today the kids were offered the same materials, but this time they were also given markers and paper. 
"I'm going to draw the circles. Look I made a triangle!"
M started grouping the small disks into groups and circling them. 


M then moved over to the whiteboard and began the same kind of grouping and circling. 
As he used his marker to trace, but was having some difficulty doing so when his own shadow was getting in the way.

"I can't see it right now. The circle went away."


As he continued to draw he noticed that as he moved his body he was able to see the circles reappear. 
"I can see them now! I can try to get that spot again."


J was also working on tracing different circle creations, but she decided to match the color marker with the color disk that was being projected. 
"I am matching all the colors together! Look!"


J began tracing circle on the whiteboard, but realized she was unable to complete the tracing because her shadow was in the way. 
She shifted her body so that the light was able to pass over her shoulder and was able to see the colored disk once again. 
Success!

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.

Happy First Day of School 24-25!

 Welcome Pine Families to our 24-25 school year! We are so happy to have your kiddos back in our room. It is so amazing to see how much they have grown physically AND socially, emotionally, and academically! 

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
