Little Treasures & Finds

 The beauty of playing out on the playscape in different zones is you never really know what you are going to find. Because all the spaces are being shared across all classrooms there are sometimes some left over toys or creations from other classes. Sometimes we just don't know what we will see! 

"Look what I found, look what I found!" L came running over holding something round and painted in his hands. It was a painted rock! 

"It is blue and purple. This is like treasure!"

"I want to see the treasure!"
"We have to hide it."

The kids gathered around to look at what L was holding between his hands. Unfortunately, I was a little to late with the camera. A few minutes later I heard several squeals coming from the climbing wall. 

"A SPIDER!" 

L, O, and L were huddled around a part of the wall. They were watching a teeny tiny little spider crawl all around the wall. You can hear more of their conversation regarding the creepy crawly in the video below. 

L lost interest in the spider and walked over peering down at the rocks and noticed something blue sticking out. 

"What's that?!" 

L & O whipped their heads around to see what L found! 

"I think it's a dinosaur!"

"I want to find it too!"

"It's like treasure!"



The kids played a kind of hide and find game for several minutes before going off to the next thing. Where did the dinosaur come from? Did another class leave it for someone else to find? Maybe we will never know...

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...
