Change of Plans!

 I cannot tell you how impressed I am with all of the Pine kids today. They have displayed so much patience, kindness, and flexibility this afternoon! 

After meeting, everyone put their coats on in anticipation to go on a walk around the neighborhood to draw some of the really cool Halloween inflatables around the neighborhood. As soon we get situated... the rain started coming down. Unfortunately we were not prepared enough to stay out and walk, but the kids came up with an awesome solution to keep the rain out of their eyes while walking back to school! 



With clipboard and marker in hand, J decided to put it over his head to keep the rain away! Immediately the other kids joined in and held their clipboards over their head. Genius! 




 Change in plans can often be quite shocking for anyone, but definitely for some of our Pine class kids. Although we try and prepare them for what is happening, we can't always plan for things like a change in weather. All five of them were champs and accepted that we would not be able to walk around the block and that we would need to spend the rest of our time inside. 

I am so proud of each of them! These are such awesome kids that have really shown a lot of growth over the last couple of months. Such a great Monday!

Families

Today our conversation regarding our skin color continued, but evolved a little bit. Instead of just talking about our own skin, the kids started talking about their families.  "Well, I have brown skin and so does my mom and my brother. My dad has white skin!"  "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families.  "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
