Welcome back

Welcome back Pine Family! We hope you had a great holiday weekend but glad you are back with us. This week may be a short week but we will pack it with lots of fun. We are really settling in to our flow of the day and our visual schedule is helping friends become comfortable with what to expect. We changed up our activities in class to allow for some new experiences. Our friend Ms. Julie joined us today and she brought a fun fine motor/sensory activity with her.  For the rest of the week, friends will get a sensory/fine motor experience in the sensory table. We changed out our dramatic play area from a kitchen to an office. Here friends can explore different pieces of equipment and pretend to go to work, be a teacher, etc. Lastly, we included another sensory/fine motor experience with playdough where friends can create, squish, and put in/take out items. Ms. Julie also did some great music and movement with us to help our bodies practice control.

It isn't out of the ordinary for the kids to ask if we can play "office."  This pretend play cracks us all up because they are clearly imitating many of the same mannerisms they have seen either at home or at school. They pile stacks of papers next to them, lay out a bunch of markers, and start "typing" away on the out of commission computers we have. They talk about all the emails and notes they have to send. They make phone calls to each other and write copious amount of letters to send in the mail. Hilarious!  Today, I wanted to test out their letter identification as well as their typing skills they have been showing off these last few months. Plus they ask me just about every other day if they can typ...

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!
