It Takes Two

Well it took no time at all for O and L to become the best of friends! Today these two have been doing everything together. When leaving to go to the forest, L grabbed O's hand and walked side by side together. I figured as soon as they got to the forest they would go their separate ways, but it was quite the opposite! The two girls stayed near each other and found each other when they weren't. They experienced a LOT together. 

 



L led O into the forest. O looked a little nervous and cautious, but L assured her it was not scary. 
"I think there's a bear in here."
"Bears are scary! No bears in here!"
"Okay. Let's look for one!"



"Bears are scary! Rawrrrrrrrr!"

The girls were unsuccessful in finding a bear, BUT that didn't stop their fun. Instead of giving up completely on hunting for something, they started looking for flowers instead! 
"We found white flowers."
"I want pink ones!"
"There's some pink ones over their too."
"I have the flowers!" 



Before leaving, the girls had one more task... moving a heavy stick. L first approached the stick and picked up one end, but it was too heavy to lift all by herself. 
"It's heavy! It's so heavy!"
Hearing L in distress, O ran over and helped pick it up. 
Watch the video below to see the two girls working together!




It's always so good to see friendships blossom over time. All four of the kids work quite well together and are beginning to look out for each other. This school family is starting off so strong!

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!

Cookin' in the Mud Kitchen

  It's always fun to watch kids engage in pretend play at school. One of my favorite places to observe their play is on the hillside in the mud kitchen. It is a place that every child seems to know exactly what to do with the materials inside. Today, L took the time to problem solve a few things and show off her cooking skills in the kitchen.  She started off by serving some of her friends and then getting back to work. In the video you can see how she navigates the environment with ease, but also takes the time to problem solve where she will get more "food." She encounters some barriers, but with a little guidance she pursued and stuck with the activity most of our time out on the hillside. She made comments to her friends, asked questions, and engaged in a lot of self talk.  Pretend play is such an important part of development for all young children. It expands play skills and gives them a little taste of what the world is like outside of school.  Have a safe, fu...
