The Hole in the Log

"I found something! I found something!"

L ran over carrying a round log with a giant hole in the middle.

"Look it is a hole."

L picked it up and drew the attention from another friend in the Magnolia class.
"L I can see you in the hole!"

She bent down and peered through the space in the log.

"I can see something! I can see you too!"

The two looked at each other through the hole and started giggling.

A friend from Dogwood noticed the commotion and saw the hole and had a different idea on what to do with the log.

"Look you can put it on a stick like this!"

She strung the log onto the stick like a bead on a string. The two of them laughed at how well it was staying on until the stick cracked and the log tumbled to the ground.

By now M joined both S and L and saw what happened.

"It looks like the moon!" he exclaimed encouragingly.

"The moon is a circle."

"Not all the time. It sometimes looks like that too!"

The kids talked about how the log transformed from one shape to another by accident but never seemed too disturbed by the incident. They quickly moved on and continued to search around the forest for more exciting forest treasures.

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.

Digital World

This afternoon the kids settled into different activities after arrival. Some kids found themselves making a whole city with painter's tape roads, some dove into some books to get a good read in, and others tried making all kinds of creations out of legos. It isn't out of the ordinary for the kids to ask if we can play "office." This pretend play cracks us all up because they are clearly imitating many of the same mannerisms they have seen either at home or at school. They pile stacks of papers next to them, lay out a bunch of markers, and start "typing" away on the out of commission computers we have. They talk about all the emails and notes they have to send. They make phone calls to each other and write copious amount of letters to send in the mail. Hilarious! Today, I wanted to test out their letter identification as well as their typing skills they have been showing off these last few months. Plus they ask me just about every other day if they can typ...

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!
