What Do You Hear?

I hope you all enjoyed such a beautiful weekend! It was so nice to be able to enjoy the sunshine and spend some time outside, safely social distancing of course 😊

On Saturday I spent some time outside and was noticing a lot of the different sounds I was hearing. There were birds chirping, bees buzzing, cars driving by, and sometimes the low hum of an air conditioning unit. I stopped what I was doing and took a second to just listen. I was able to hear so much more! I decided to make a list of the different sounds I heard and then wanted to draw/paint pictures of those different sounds. It was a really fun memory game to play with myself. I wonder if that's something you can do too? Here's a look at one of the paintings I made! 


Can you make a list of all the different things you hear? Can you draw, paint, or even just describe what was making that sound? 

Try it out! Upload your pictures or videos to the Google Photos folder so we can see what you made too! 

Before you get started, read along with Ms. Kari another one of our favorites Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? by Bill Martin, Jr. 



Have a great start to your week! I can't wait to see and hear about all of the ways you guys have been learning at home!

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...
