Fishing in the Collaboratory

 It's not every day that the kids say they do NOT want to go outside. We were shocked! At the very end of our meeting with Kari the kids took a vote: Collaboratory or Outside? 

It was a landslide victory to go play in the collaboratory rather than play outside. The kids lined up and we made our way to the big space. It wasn't before long that they got right into playing a game they called "fishing!" It was hilarious. They all gathered long blue foam pieces to use as their rods and dipped them into the "water." There was one glaring problem... there were no fish! Luckily for us... these guys made their own fish. Our next problem, however, was a thinker. How were the fish going to stay on the pole? 

"We need sticky!" 

"Yeah like something that makes it stick to the fishing pole." 

"Maybe we can have tape?" 

Tape it is! With a little bit of help we got some tape onto the ends of the fish and the kids went at it! They loaded up the boats and started fishing for all the different colored fish floating around in the "water." Love to see this spontaneous pretend play. It was full of laughs, kind words, and sharing. A great day for the Pine room 😊

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.

Happy First Day of School 24-25!

 Welcome Pine Families to our 24-25 school year! We are so happy to have your kiddos back in our room. It is so amazing to see how much they have grown physically AND socially, emotionally, and academically! 

Welcome back!!

 I hope you all enjoyed your long break together. We are back at it with our same centers and focus words UP and DOWN. This will be the last week for our current activities and will change it up for the last 2 weeks before our next BIG break. Only 12 days left together for the year and we are counting down!  Please help us celebrate:  Pine’s Friendsgiving Feast! Your kiddos have been hard at work filling each other's buckets through acts of kindness. They earned a special celebration before the Thanksgiving break but we held off our celebration so all friends could participate. Today we read a book called Feast for 10 and were inspired by some ingredients. If you would like to help us celebrate our friendship and donate to our feast, we would love it! Our plan is to celebrate on Thursday Dec 5th. Thanks :) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zu9-130U8W6xGWiNsdlLMXYA9q8yOASwtSEybrST3Rc/edit?usp=sharing
