Rainy Day Blues


Good morning, everyone! 

I don't know about all of you, but this cloudy weather is really making me feel quite tired and a little stir crazy. As much as I love a good thunderstorm or some rain, I also really love being able to be outside in the sunshine. Unfortunately, I don't think that's in the forecast this week. However, Ms. Margie and Toffee found a way to beat these rainy day blues! 

This activity is so easy to create just from some materials you may have at home! Ms. Margie was able to use some extra salt she had in her cabinet, but you could use a number of different things to draw in. You could try sand, shaving cream, or even dry rice!

I wonder what letters you can make? Can you try and spell your name? What about drawing a picture?! 


If you want to use rice, and have a lot of it to spare, you can even dye the rice! In the beginning of the year our kids from the afternoon class helped dye the rice different colors using a little bit of rubbing alcohol and some food coloring!

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

2024 is slipping away…

  We have 4 days this week and so much fun to cram in!  Join us in celebrating this week with the school wide special days that were posted on Brightweel. Today was hat day, Tuesday is cozy sweater day, Wednesday is AFC spirit day but we think wear your favorite color might be easier, and Thursday is PJ day.  We have some fun activities planned that I hope all will enjoy. Today we started work on a top secret project, Tuesday the school is showing a special winter movie called the Snowman, Wednesday we will put our baking skills to the test making cookies, and Thursday we will have fun decorating and munching on our yummy creations. Our focus in class will still be on the words LOOK and SEE and invitations including water exploration, running a bakery shop, and outdoor life in the winter.
