Welcome week 5!

Hello Pine Family and welcome back; I hope you all had a great weekend! Lots of friends were out today which left us with such a small school family. We made sure to wish them well!

This week is sure to be lots of fun with some new explorations. We are still practicing our magic words GO and STOP and our good question words WHO and WHERE. To support learning our magic words we are using some new activities and music. Our invitations for center time consisted of the wind tunnel, magnetic ball wall, and kinetic sand. At the wind tunnel kiddos explored putting different materials in the tube and watched the air from the fan make the material GO up and out of the tube. Friends discovered that they could try to catch the items as the fell down to the ground. Some friends even noticed that some went really high and others didn't even GO up the tube at all. On the ball wall kiddos could construct magnetic tubes on the white board and watch the balls GO down the tubes. Friends noticed that the balls did not just STOP when they came out, but instead would roll all over the room! In the kinetic sand, we had a fun sensory experience squishing and forming silly things. 

Today we

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...

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!
