Making Our Own Clouds

Today the boys worked on making our own kind of kindness clouds! As you saw from the blog last week, the kids have been really coming around to being kind and complementing one another. In order to keep the momentum, we wanted them to be more apart of the experience. So today, J & F worked for awhile to create some clouds for our newly created sky in the classroom.

The boys worked side by side either cutting or tearing the blue tissue paper into small rectangular shapes. They carefully laid the pieces onto the white paper below. Once the paper was filled with the different shades of blue, each boy was then able to spray water onto to the paper making a really cool cloudy design on the white paper!

We are creating our own clouds in order to give the kids some responsibility and ownership. We want them to be proud of being kind to one another! Our class has lots of clouds to make so this is probably an activity that will stretch out as the week progresses. I can't wait to see what it looks like dry!

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.

Rainbow Snow!

The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow. "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
