Bird Egg or Dino Egg?!

Instead of our normal forest day, we decided to head on over to the sculpture park! The kids were so excited to get to a place we visit only a few times throughout the school year.

"It has a big bird!"
"Yeah we will see the big bird there!"

We put on our coats and jackets and began our journey to the sculpture park, but once we approached we saw that it was a little crowded with some neighbors.

"Oh the germs! We have to go somewhere else!"

These kids have really understood keeping distance from others, especially people we don't know! In order to keep our original plan we just headed to the other side of the street, a part of the park we don't typically ever go to.

"We have never seen this place before!"

"Yeah we don't play here, what do we do?!"

Within minutes they were running, screaming, and checking out the new space. As F an J whizzed past me on the sidewalk, they came to a halt.

"WHAT are THOSE?!"

They approached carefully and inspected some large concrete structures.

"It's a egg!"

"Maybe it's a dino egg!"

They scurried around the eggs, inspecting every angle. They were cracking up at the size of these eggs!

"It's so big!"
"It's so heavy!"

The kids decided they had to be dinosaur eggs because there's no way a bird could lay that big of an egg!

It was a beautiful afternoon to spend outside. We miss being able to go out as often as we did a few months ago. Happy to see the sun 😊

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!
