Tie Dye Tuesday

 This afternoon we settled out on the playscape to run around and play. We also had one other task to complete: making tye dye shirts! The kids were so excited to get to decorate their own shirt with the colors of their choosing. This tide in nicely with the color study we did a few weeks ago. 






As the kids used the squeeze bottles they noticed how the colors bled into one another and started creating secondary colors! 
"Look look, it's turning green! The yellow and blue mixed and made green!"
"Oh my is kind of orange with yellow and red."
"These are so cool!"
"My shirt looks beautiful!"

This was so fun! We are going to let the shirts sit overnight here at school, wash them out tomorrow, and let the kids wear them at school and then home on Thursday. We cannot wait to see how they turn out.

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...

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!
