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!

Instead of just talking about our own skin, the kids started talking about their families.  "Well, I have brown skin and so does my mom and my brother. My dad has white skin!"  "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families.  "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
