Tasty Tuesday!

 Today we celebrated with Tasty Tuesday! In order to set ourselves up for success for tasty treats today, the kids helped make popsicles yesterday to freeze overnight and then enjoy today. Our journey to make these popsicles started at our afternoon meeting. The kids were posed with the question: What color popsicles should we make? To make things a bit easier, they had a choice between pink or red. 

"Oh I want red!"
"Yeah red popsicles!"
"No, no pink!" 

Well this was going to be an issue, how would we determine which color to make? A vote!

We greeted each child as normal, but after their name was called they had to write their name under their color choice. 



There was one issue... 4 kids and there were two for pink and two for red.
"It's a tie!" L exclaimed. 
Now what? Ms. Margie was chosen to make the decision. Everyone waited in anticipation as she approached the board. Margie chose red! 
The class cheered! Either way we were getting to eat popsicles 😊

After snack it was time to start making popsicles. Some of the kids were worried that their parents wouldn't know how to make popsicles at home, but I reassured them that my secret recipe would be shared with all of you. 
The secret recipe? Kool-aid! 






Finally, regular snack ended and it was time to enjoy the popsicles! 

PURE BLISS!

Celebration!

Happy Monday! Today we started something new before dismissing to go home. Instead of reading a book or shaking our sillies out, we are going to start celebrating our successes for the day! We start off by dancing to Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" and then move into talking about something to celebrate that happened at school. Because it was the first day, it was a little difficult to think of something to celebrate. I imagine by Thursday the ideas will be flowing! Enjoy the dance party from today's first celebration!

Cookin' in the Mud Kitchen

  It's always fun to watch kids engage in pretend play at school. One of my favorite places to observe their play is on the hillside in the mud kitchen. It is a place that every child seems to know exactly what to do with the materials inside. Today, L took the time to problem solve a few things and show off her cooking skills in the kitchen.  She started off by serving some of her friends and then getting back to work. In the video you can see how she navigates the environment with ease, but also takes the time to problem solve where she will get more "food." She encounters some barriers, but with a little guidance she pursued and stuck with the activity most of our time out on the hillside. She made comments to her friends, asked questions, and engaged in a lot of self talk.  Pretend play is such an important part of development for all young children. It expands play skills and gives them a little taste of what the world is like outside of school.  Have a safe, fu...
