Evolution of Drawings

J sat down at the table and immediately got to work on a new drawing. In the past, J drew pictures of people that mostly consisted of members of her family. Today's drawings were different though!

"I made a haircut, and now I'm making some ice cream."

J chose colors very carefully, and mostly depending on the smell of the markers (thanks Mr. Sketch Scented markers!).

"Oh this one smells like strawberries so I am going to use it all. I love strawberries!"

She popped the cap open and started coloring vigorously across the page.

J then picked up the brown marker, smelled it, smiled and started coloring it.

"It's chocolate! I love chocolate too!"

J's drawings have really evolved over the last few weeks. She is choosing to draw other things she likes rather than just familiar people. She is beginning to use more descriptive words as she self talks her way through her drawings. We love being able to see these kinds of changes!

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.

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on. "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" 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...
