Collaboratory Game

While playing the collaboratory this afternoon some of the Pine kids came up with a game. They collected all of the small foam circles and began rolling them across the floor to one another or crashing them into other blocks. L had idea, what if they tried jumping over the round blocks as the rolled towards them?

The problem, however, was that sometimes the circles didn't quite roll straight enough and went of course. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, but either way the Pine kids found a way to make a game out of it. They always know how to have fun!

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

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!
