Laundry Basket Races

This afternoon the kids worked incredibly hard, we went into the collaboratory and had laundry basket races! It all started out when during our arrival routine. L & W were taking turns pushing one another across the carpet in the laundry basket. It gave us an idea... what if we raced with them in the collaboratory?! 

The kids were so excited to be able to push one another as well as sit in the basket and relax while being pushed. It was a fun way to incorporate some purposeful heavy work into our day. While some of the kids were taking turns pushing the baskets, others were jotting down the times for how long each pair took to get down and back. 






These kind of activities build on so many different skills for our kids. Not only did they have to take turns, they also needed to wait, and work together. These three skills, although seem simple, are so important in our daily play to build safe and fun friendships with one another. I would be surprised if the kids didn't fall fast asleep tonight!

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!

Our week ends

 Happy Thursday Pine Family! Today we wrapped up with our magic words GET and WHAT and our centers. Next week will be brand new, maybe you can try to guess what we might be learning! Since it was very muddy on the hillside we did gross motor time inside and had fun exploring together in the gym. While we played, we also worked on our beautiful class project for the auction, hope you will all come bid on it! Can your kiddo remember how many friends we wished well today? Can they remember their names? We ended our day with story time and our "What filled your bucket today?" Have a great weekend!
