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.

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...
