A Warm Place to Rest

This afternoon the kids jumped back into our short study of the birds and how we can help take care of them. One way they came up with was through bird houses!

"I am warm in my house, birds are cold outside!"

"Birds make nests. I think they use sticks and twigs to make them, but people make them too and they use glue to keep them together."

"Birds will stay warm in here!"

"I think we should take them to the forest next time we go. We can hang them up on some sturdy sticks!"

What a great plan! I do hope we can visit the forest soon, even if it is a walk. So we will continue to make snuggly warm houses for the birds.

Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday!

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.

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on. "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log. S swung with grace over the ground. The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns. Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try. L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...

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!
