Communities Connected

Did you know we have a class that comes in the morning? This isn't something we often talk about in the classroom simply because we are working on two different things! Today, however, we had the opportunity to connect with our AM class in the forest!

How do we bridge community? How do we bring the AM class and the PM classes together without actually having to be together? Well, I will tell you just one way we decided to start bringing our two classes together. This morning our AM boys painted some rocks and then hid them among the greenery, logs, and trees. The intention was to have our PM friends then go and try and find the rocks!

All was going well, until we could NOT find the blue rock... where did the blue rock go?

"We can't find it. It's lost!"

"We have the purple, pink, and orange, but no blue!"

This was unexpected! Where could it possible be? It took a bit of asking around, but we found out that the Sycamore class found the blue rock this morning!

Here we were trying to connect our two small classes together, but unbeknownst to us we connected with another class in the school! How cool! The kids decided that since other classes were enjoying hiding and finding the rock that we could just leave them there.

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!

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...
