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.

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...
