Welcome Back!

 Welcome back! I am so happy to start this new school year. While it looks a bit different than last years start, it feels equally as important and fun. Today, J & L seemed to pick up right where they left off back in March. They remembered so many of the same routines and have even brought new skills to the classroom! It is so great to see the boys playing side by side, working together, and even keeping masks on for a little bit at a time! Way to go boys 😊



The boys sat with Ms. Kari and read our social story about wearing masks. Both L & J were proud to wear a mask on their face and even enjoyed the teachers wearing them too!     


J worked for a long time trying to set up the dominoes just right in order to knock them over with a car or two. He demonstrated such concentration and ambition! 


Before joining J over on the carpet, L had some "experiments" to get through and set up a whole table to get them done. He did, however, allow himself to take a break with J and the ramps! 









L & J also worked together at the light table creating the tallest tower! Although there was a bit of disagreement, the boys were able to work through it and create "the biggest tower!"




We ended our day playing in the gym, a Pine class favorite, and expel some extra energy before returning home. It was a great first day and we are so excited that a new year has started!

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.  "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.  S swung with grace over the ground.  The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.  Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.  L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...

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!
