Spring Cleaning

Is anyone else able to enjoy some of this warm spring weather?! I am trying my best to do so! One thing I have also taken the opportunity to do is clean! Spring cleaning is happening over at my house and it's been quite therapeutic to really take the time to rearrange, clean, and bring some fresh air into all of the rooms. 

Now that we are all at home, what a great opportunity it might be to take on a new project and clean up just one space at home. Everyone can help too! Young children often respond well to being a helper and often want to help an adult around the house. Providing a 'job' for your child can give them a sense of pride and belonging. 


In the video below, Ms. Julie shows you how cleaning can provide children with purposeful heavy work that may help with burning off some energy as well as giving kids some responsibility. 




I hope you all have a great Monday! As we head into the new week, remember to look for celebrations (the smallest of ones too!) and really celebrate them. Bring some joy into the parts of the day that may seem less joyful. 

Miss you all so much!

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
