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.

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...

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!
