Capers

Another Thursday in the books! Today the Pine kids had yet another opportunity to explore Magnolia and Dogwood and the various invitations they prepared. It's enjoyable to watch the kids choose between so many different activities and interact with with their peers from the other rooms. They show their ability to thrive outside of the Pine class and dive a little deeper into both new and familiar activities. 


S spent some time making bracelets with beads and pipe cleaners. Making bracelets and necklaces was a huge hit with the kids a few days ago so S was very happy to see another classroom with beads! 


J enjoyed building mini cities and homes for LEGO people in Magnolia. She shared toys, laughs, and her playful imagination with some other friends. 


W enjoyed her time playing in the collaboratory where she is mastering her balancing, jumping, and turn taking! She navigated the obstacle course with ease and played hard with the others. 


F got to see how the Magnolia kids used paint brushes this week. During this more whole body painting experience, F was able to swing the paint brush from a fishing line to create long sweeps of paint and dots of different colors. 


F, M, & J worked together to build with the LEGOs. They took turns placing each piece in just the right spot to create a house for their people. 

The Pine kids love to be able to spend time with peers from other classes in different spaces. They look forward to it every week!

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.  "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.  S swung with grace over the ground.  The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.  Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.  L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...

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!
