Making Faces

 Oops! I accidentally posted this in the AM blog... here is yesterday's blog post! 

 The kids have been really into drawing lately and it has transpired into a number of different creations. They have mostly focused on making basic drawings of people that contain one big circle body, two arms, two legs, and a happy face inside. How can we incorporate more detail? How can we encourage more intricate drawings? 

Today we tried mixing it up a little bit. The kids were provided a bunch of different kinds of facial features cut out from a magazine. It allowed for them to choose which eyes, ears, mouths, and noses they wanted for their person! They were cracking up putting cat ears on a person's head or replacing a human nose with a dog nose. Too funny!







It inspired some more drawing at the end of our day where we worked as a class to draw different kinds of emotions. Each kid had a chance to pick a face at random and have their friends contribute a part of the face. It was a little rocky at first, but after a few rounds they were able to sit and watch one another add the frowning or smiling mouth, furrowed brows, and even worried or happy looking eyes. 

Since being back, the kids are adjusting to being back with friends and remembering expectations. These simple games that have everyone contribute to the same project have been very uplifting and encouraging.

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!
