The Snail

We spent the afternoon hanging out on the hillside. One task that the boys are always trying to complete is to successfully climb up the snail and ride on his back. This has been a challenge both boys have faced and today L figured out a way to get on! 

"Ms. Jill, look! I did it! I got on the snails back and I am going to ride him to the slime store!" 


We both cheered in his success for reaching the top of the snail. I had to know... how did he do it? 

"I just put these two things on top of each other and then climbed up! It was easy! I will show you again."


But, before L could show me how he got up, he had to come down... a much more difficult task. 





"Whoa! That was slippery and kind of tricky. I don't think I should go down like that. I fell off! It's okay, I'm okay. I will show you how to do it."








Success!! L did it again! There is so much problem solving that happens daily at the preschool, but this felt like the biggest victory today.

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!
