Hello week 6!

Happy Monday Pine Family! Welcome to week 6 and the beautiful Fall Season! This week we are focusing on some new magic words, skills, and activities. We will be practicing our words YOUR TURN and MY TURN, the words YOU and ME, and re-visiting our good question word WHO? To support this we will have lots of fun activities. One of our invitations at centers was playing a game called Alphabet Island. We had to wait for our turn and pass it to another friend for a turn. When it was our turn we had to identify a capital letter and then find a picture that started with the letter's sound and feed it to the Shark! At our music and movement time on the carpet we were introduced to some musical instruments and used the words MY TURN to get to explore the sounds of the instruments. Another invitation at centers was the sensory table. We had different colored items that friends could help sort by matching the color of the item to the correct colored cup. To strengthen our fine motor skills we tried using tongs/tweezers/pinchers to pick up the items. We also engaged friends in conversations about what the items felt like, noticing different sizes, etc. For our third invitation, we had cars! The challenge today was to park the cars in the garage that they matched. Some friends worked on matching colors and others worked on matching letters. We also projected a video of driving on a road and friends could pretend to be driving somewhere.

Creek Time

  Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.  "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.  S swung with grace over the ground.  The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.  Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.  L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...
