Happy Monday ***updated****

We always love when are friends come back to school after a weekend away. We had a super fun filled day! 
For sign in we searched for our letters and made our names.






Some of us worked on our game pieces for our Pete the Cat Button Counting Game.







Our friend Ms. Kari came to play. 




We went for a walk through the neighborhood and our challenge was to use our I Spy Eyes to find shapes, colors, and fall decorations! We found that and so much more!!!

We spied pumpkins: orange, white, yellow, and brown; some small and some big; some smooth and some bumpy.

We stuck together to stay safe.

We spied black bats in the window!

Our friends really loved all the flowers we saw; some were tall and some were short; we spotted the whole rainbow of colors along the way.

We spied hearts

I showed our friends the American Flag and we identified the colors red, white, and blue!


We spied a blue circle.

We spied more pumpkins.

We spied a square.

We spied a blue mailbox and talked about what it is used for.

We spied a fire hydrant and discussed its purpose.

We spied a circle.

It was so big we all could fit inside!

We spied a stop sign and learned it is an Octagon! We remember this from our magic words/activities for stop and go.

We spied an interesting shape. On top is a pentagon with people on it. On bottom we noticed the arrow on a rectangle shaped sign.


We saw a circle with the number 2.

Eden spied a diamond

More fall deocrations


We spotted a star shape inside the letter A.


We stopped to talk about different sizes!

Another flag and it's a rectangle with stars and stripes on it!

Look, numbers! 1
and 3....or maybe an M Mila said.





We spied a heart with arms and legs, how silly.

We talked about why we need trash cans.


 
We discussed the shapes and colors and why this sign is important.

Eden spotted the applesauce and reminded us that it should have been put in the trash can!

More shapes

We spotted a room we may see in our own house: the kitchen! We all know that food and cooking happens in the kitchen

Eden found something green and soft and showed us all. We learned it's called moss

Ben spotted a bicycle! It has shapes too; the wheels are circles!

I challenged our brains by knowing this color is "Golden" said Eleanor



We spotted the bee



It's a cone for construction said Eden

We talked more about bumpy and smooth

and Eden found more

We had to stop and smell the flowers of course





Another Flag says Eden
 
and a garage. We joked it looked like a face with it's mouth open

A spider!
 a skeleton
and spider webs!

A Halloween flag and shapes on the door

This might have been our favorite house. We spied trucks

 and made friends with some chickens

learned that these are called tomato plants and they start green and turn red

and spied a not so real owl

also made a discovery of soft plants that Eden said felt like bunny ears

The house also had lots of decorations for us to see!






When we returned we added our treasures to our collection

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.

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...
