Monday funday

 Welcome back from a weekend where I hope you all had fun with friends and family. We heard lots of fun stories today about how people celebrated their time together. It was not only the start to a new week but also new centers. We decided to practice some old words of the week LOOK and SEE and our good question word WHAT. We are using those words in combination with feeling words to help us focus on looking for clues with our eyes to tell us how our friends might be feeling. We can also use those physical cues when we look at ourselves in the mirror and help us understand a little more about our own body language. For our social table activity we used playdough to construct faces. On the table was a picture of the Conscious Discipline Feeling Faces for us to look at for ideas. While constructing our feeling faces we talked about what we noticed on the faces the changed to create different feelings. At the carpet we explored the wonderful world of magnets. Friends were challenged to try to recreate pictures of items. This skill helps our eyes learn to focus on details and our brains on how to problem solve. In the sensory table were some items that most of our friends had been talking about before the weekend and exposed to over the weekend; ask your kiddo what they saw! The eggs helped friends work on matching colors, letters and numbers. There were even eggs with feeling faces on them! Other springtime items in the the sensory could be used for sorting by attributes. It is so great to see all our friends learning through play!

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...
