Artsy Thursday!

 We concluded Week of the Young Child with Artsy Thursday! Since the kids did a bulk of the work yesterday at the forest by collecting a variety of nature materials, they had it pretty easy today to assemble a sun catcher. Using the flowers, leaves, and sticks they found yesterday, the kids took some time to place those onto some clear contact paper laid out on a frame. Some were more interested in the activity over some others, but overall it turned out quite lovely! 








We also let the butterflies go today! The video below is quite sweet as they try and navigate how to let them go appropriately as well as some talk about where they would live. This was such a fun little project that allowed the kids to take care of something and watch the magic of nature unfold before their eyes. 

Have a great weekend!

Some kids found themselves making a whole city with painter's tape roads, some dove into some books to get a good read in, and others tried making all kinds of creations out of legos. It isn't out of the ordinary for the kids to ask if we can play "office."  This pretend play cracks us all up because they are clearly imitating many of the same mannerisms they have seen either at home or at school. They pile stacks of papers next to them, lay out a bunch of markers, and start "typing" away on the out of commission computers we have. They talk about all the emails and notes they have to send. They make phone calls to each other and write copious amount of letters to send in the mail. Hilarious!  Today, I wanted to test out their letter identification as well as their typing skills they have been showing off these last few months. Plus they ask me just about every other day if they can typ...

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!
