Pine Room Campsite

This afternoon J & L enjoyed a lovely day camping! After yesterday's challenge of building a tent, the kids continued with their play and began expanding it. More materials were set up to encourage more creative play.

"We need a campfire! We roast marshmallows and make food."

"I want to roast a marshmallow!"

"We can sleep in the tents when it gets dark!"

"I want to tell stories and sing songs."

"We can do that! I will sing you a song."

J closed his eyes and very softly began singing a song.

As it came to an end L expressed his desire to tell a story. In the video below you will see all of these different things transpire. It went as far as looking up at the stars! We paused play for a second to be able to cut out our own and put them on the ceiling. It was such a fun afternoon!

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

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...
