Splish Splash Chickens Taking a Bath!

Good morning! 
Last week, I had a conversation with a friend from the PM class about learning something new. Over the past couple of weeks he has been telling a few of the Pine teachers about Minecraft and all the different characters, locations, and activities you can do while playing the game. It was so enlightening to hear him talk about something he was really interested in and took the time to teach us something! While staying home, I have found myself wanting to learn something new too, but little did I know I didn't need to look to far! For today's blog, Ms. Katie has taken the time to take a video of her chicken! Learn something new with me and watch below 

Can you guess what this chicken is doing?



Chickens take baths to keep clean, just like you. But instead of getting into a tub of water, chickens take a bath by digging a shallow trench in fine, dry soil or sand. They roll, wiggle, and throw the dirt to get it all over their feathers. The dirt helps them to absorb excess oil on their skin. The dirt also helps to remove any mites or lice that may be on the chicken. When they are all done, they stand up, fluff out all their feathers, and shake all the dirt off. Then they feel nice and clean.

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.

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! 

Celebration!

Happy Monday! Today we started something new before dismissing to go home. Instead of reading a book or shaking our sillies out, we are going to start celebrating our successes for the day! We start off by dancing to Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" and then move into talking about something to celebrate that happened at school. Because it was the first day, it was a little difficult to think of something to celebrate. I imagine by Thursday the ideas will be flowing! Enjoy the dance party from today's first celebration!
