Big Day!

Today was a big day in Pine for some friends. Not only was M able to finish his book I Was So Sad, but some other friends worked together to build a house in the gym. 

M was so excited and proud he finished his 17 page book! He took the time today to write the last few pages and even added page numbers after he realized the pages were getting mixed up and hard to keep track of. M also decided he wanted to continue making books next week.
Way to go M!


In the gym today W began building a house out of the magnetic tiles. After a few minutes building alone, she invited some other friends to come help her. Without hesitation, two other friends came running over to help. 






It was great to see a group of kids that don't normally play with one another to join up and build something as a team. They shared materials as they concentrated on making the walls just right. They even laughed when the whole thing toppled over and they had to start again. Such a great afternoon full of milestones!

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!
