Storyboard.. Kind Of

 Another great afternoon in the Pine room! The kids have really taken to their movie ideas and have started creating stories through drawings. All week they have been contributing to the same pictures and elaborating on what kind of movie they want to make. Today, O & J took the time to explain a little bit about what is happening in their movie. The audio is a bit difficult to hear because of background noise and muffled voices through the masks. 

O explains that she drew some rainbows that are happy and sad. She really wanted me to know that the little green guy she drew was a frog and NOT a person. O wasn't too sure of her story line yet, but made her best effort to describe her picture. 

J also provided some insight on what was happening in his movie. Monsters were attacking the city! All of the kids had to get together and run away from the monster. He too made some really great drawings and was able to explain every piece. 

Looking forward to what the kids bring to the table next week!

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.

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...
