Bringing It All Together

This afternoon was one for the books! As you know a few weeks ago we implemented a strategy through the use of "kindness clouds" to build some intrinsic motivation. Since that first day the kids have had varied reactions to putting up kindness clouds throughout the day. Sometimes they are really excited and are highly motivated to fill up our sky with clouds and others it doesn't matter as much. Today, however, all I have been hearing is "Ms. Jill, we need another kindness cloud!"

So awesome! Not only did the kids tell me when they needed clouds, L asked if he could help me write some of the cool things our friends were doing. With all the positivity flowing in our classroom we took the opportunity to read a book about worrying.

Ruby Finds a Worry

The kids were so engaged! As we read through the book they commented on the characters feelings and how they changed as her worry grew bigger. By the end of the book, J said he had a worry and asked to talk about it. It was so appropriate!

Such a great day and I am so proud of all of these kids 😊

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!
