Bikes!

 Over the last two days both L & J have been asking "when can we ride bikes?!" Well today was their lucky day! Since we are practicing more physical distancing at school, there are only certain days in which we have the opportunity to play with the bikes. Very different than years past! The boys are starting to understand that we do not get to visit the same spaces or play with the same toys every day. A really difficult thing to learn! 

Another difficult skill we are working on his coping when losing a game...today, that happened to be racing on bikes. 


This is one area that can be extremely hard for anyone! You can see how the boys race on the bikes across the lot, but unfortunately there's only one winner. Both boys worked through some big emotions, but by the end they were back being friends. 

After playing on bikes for awhile, we headed inside to do some painting to make some proper 'thank you' cards. Over the summer some very nice friends and family donated lots of different different materials to keep everyone in our classroom healthy and safe. We are SO thankful and need to make sure we let those people know. L & J could not wait to paint some cards. After snack they headed to the the paint table and got started. 




Another great day full of adjusting and remembering. As the boys become more comfortable in our new environment at school they will only continue to grow in so many different ways.

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!
