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.

Rainbow Snow!

  The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow.  "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
