Airplane in the Forest

Our paper airplanes made their way to the forest this afternoon. The kids noticed how all of the leaves and trees were swaying in the wind and wanted to try out the airplanes to see if they would fly too. In the video below you can see how F tries to hold the airplane up in the air and lets the wind carry it out of his hands. About halfway through though, he notices that the leaves on the ground were having an easier time flying than his own plane.

All 5 of the afternoon kids are quite observant during their play. F noticed that his airplane wasn't flying, but the leaves under his feet would when he kicked them up. It's always great to see how kids change up their play when it isn't going as intended. Sometimes kids get frustrated and sometimes they go with the flow. Today was a day where everyone just went with the flow and allowed for unprecedented obstacles to happen and adjusted.

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!

Our week ends

Happy Thursday Pine Family! Today we wrapped up with our magic words GET and WHAT and our centers. Next week will be brand new, maybe you can try to guess what we might be learning! Since it was very muddy on the hillside we did gross motor time inside and had fun exploring together in the gym. While we played, we also worked on our beautiful class project for the auction, hope you will all come bid on it! Can your kiddo remember how many friends we wished well today? Can they remember their names? We ended our day with story time and our "What filled your bucket today?" Have a great weekend!
