Strong Bodies

This whole week the kids have been so excited to push each other around in the laundry baskets, but today they really wanted to test their strength! 
"Pushing kids around is too easy. I want it to be harder."
"Yeah, it needs to be really heavy to make it hard!"
"I am so strong and I want to show everyone."

We looked around the room and noticed the logs sitting next to the bookshelf. 
"We can use those! They are going to be so heavy."

We started loading up the two logs we have in our classroom.
"These will still be too easy. We need more."

We headed to Magnolia to ask for some more logs. Now with 5 logs, they surely thought it would be too heavy to move.










S, L, & M did their best to push the heavy basket across the carpet. 
"This is not that easy."
"Yeah it is really heavy with 5."
"It was easier to push 4 than it was 5."
"We have such strong muscles to push all of these logs!"
"I think we could push even more."

B brought in a book pertaining to bodies so we were able to learn a little bit more about our bodies and all of the great things they do for us. We talked about what it takes to have a strong body and how there are all kinds of exercises we can do in order to make them strong. 


Please take care of those strong bodies over break! Have a great week and see you all when you get back!

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...
