Falling Blocks

This afternoon S, L, & F worked through their frustrations while setting up the dominoes to knock down. In the video below you can see how the kids were quite determined to have the blocks set up just right in order to knock them all down. 

You can see how S looks quite frustrated when all of her blocks fall over after trying to move just one. Her brow wrinkles, but she doesn't let it bother her. She simply picks them back up and begins again. 

Tasks like this can be so frustrating, especially when you've been working for awhile to get it done. The kids show a lot of determination to complete a lot of what they want to accomplish, but are often very frustrated or angry when it doesn't go as planned. S demonstrated her ability to work through her frustration and have a satisfying ending.

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.

Happy First Day of School 24-25!

 Welcome Pine Families to our 24-25 school year! We are so happy to have your kiddos back in our room. It is so amazing to see how much they have grown physically AND socially, emotionally, and academically! 

Welcome back!!

 I hope you all enjoyed your long break together. We are back at it with our same centers and focus words UP and DOWN. This will be the last week for our current activities and will change it up for the last 2 weeks before our next BIG break. Only 12 days left together for the year and we are counting down!  Please help us celebrate:  Pine’s Friendsgiving Feast! Your kiddos have been hard at work filling each other's buckets through acts of kindness. They earned a special celebration before the Thanksgiving break but we held off our celebration so all friends could participate. Today we read a book called Feast for 10 and were inspired by some ingredients. If you would like to help us celebrate our friendship and donate to our feast, we would love it! Our plan is to celebrate on Thursday Dec 5th. Thanks :) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zu9-130U8W6xGWiNsdlLMXYA9q8yOASwtSEybrST3Rc/edit?usp=sharing
