Birds! Real Baby Birds!

We noticed quite the surprise while playing outside this afternoon! Some of the teachers noticed a few birds flying in and out of the same tree. Hmm? What could be going on? After some gentle investigation, they found a bird's nest with a momma bird sitting very still.

"IT'S A BIRD!" L yelled and came running over.

"Are there babies in there?"

"I wonder where the daddy bird is?"

"Are the babies okay? Do they have food?"

"How do they eat?"

SO many questions were flowing in and out of their mouths. It reignited a lot of the same wonderings we had a few months ago revolving our bird study. What are the chances?!

They are so curious about these birds and anxiously awaiting the reveal of the little baby birds. Luckily with some handy camera work we were able to catch a picture! Enjoy this video of the excitement and overall wonder.

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...
