How Do You Feel?

The last two weeks the Pine kids have been working on identifying their feelings and then describing why they are feeling that way. 

It's been pretty amazing to see a shift in how the kids interact with our feelings chart over the last two weeks. Last Monday, many of the kids waited until an adult asked how they were feeling and then waited to describe why they were feeling that way. 

This week, however, the kids began approaching the feelings chart unprompted and moving their names around throughout the day to indicate their change in moods and emotions. 

Beginning of the Day


End of the Day

The kids have also started creating a dialogue about how our emotions change and that it's okay when they do. We chat about how we can handle different big emotions like angry, frustrated, and sad as well as celebrating the times we are happy and feeling excited. 

SO proud of the Pine kids and being able to identify how they feel. There isn't any emotion we can't handle!

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.

Rainbow Snow!

  The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow.  "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...

Celebration!

Happy Monday! Today we started something new before dismissing to go home. Instead of reading a book or shaking our sillies out, we are going to start celebrating our successes for the day! We start off by dancing to Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" and then move into talking about something to celebrate that happened at school. Because it was the first day, it was a little difficult to think of something to celebrate. I imagine by Thursday the ideas will be flowing! Enjoy the dance party from today's first celebration!
