Sticking Together

In the beginning of the year we tried out an activity to see how the kids would be able to work together to try and build a fort. The activity wasn't as successful as we hoped so we put something like this on pause. It takes a lot of executive thinking to be able to work together, problem solve, and view things from another person's perspective. The kids were not quite ready for such a task back in September, but as they have grown and learned how to work together we decided we would try it out again!

In the video below you can see lots of furrowed brows, many confused looks, but lots of happiness when the goal was achieved! Week to week these kids continue to amaze me with their ability to stick together and create something amazing.

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!

Sights & Sounds

F started looking through each hole. He would crouch down, take a look through, then pop back up. Friends from Magnolia ran over and started looking through too. As they looked through, they would yell, "hello!" F got an idea. He decided he was going to yell 'hello' too, but through each tunnel. They continued to bob up and down switching between looking through each hole and yelling in it. The group would erupt in giggles after exchanging different yells and vocalizations. "It sounds loud when you yell in it." "You can see different parts looking in." "Yeah you have to turn it like this." The playscape provides for so many different opportunities for the kids. They were able to hear sounds much louder than they normally would and focus on other parts of outside looking into the narrow tunnel.
