Weeeeeeek 11!

 Happy Halloween!!!! We had a spooktacular day today with so many fun adventures! We decided to stay inside on this wet day and explored the Collaboratory. At our group time we used our 5 senses to explore a pumpkin. Some friends were brave enough to touch the slimy insides! I wanted to let the kiddos make all the decisions about what our Jack-o-Lantern should look like. They made suggestions for what shapes and how many to make the face of the pumpkin. We then voted: 2 circles for eyes, 1 triangle for a nose, and 1 smile with teeth! Our group time gave us plenty of opportunities to use our magic words LOOK and SEE. For centers: we played in our haunted house where we practiced trick or treating for tonight; scooped and poured in our sensory table while discussing which pumpkins were real and which were not real/fake; at our creation station we painted pumpkins we brought in or helped to paint our big classroom jack-o-lantern! After all of that we gathered at the carpet to make our friendship snack. It was fun mixing in all the ingredients to make one big bowl of yumminess! We munched and crunched while watching some fun Halloween stories :) 

It was so sad that so many friends are out sick, we wished you well!

We hope everyone has a fun night while staying safe! 


Flow of the day:

Table time during arrival: We do name work, reading, building, etc.


















We went out of order of our normal routine today since we played inside. The Collaboratory has lots of fun building, jumping, magnets, and wind tunnel.

























Next we did centers with our haunted house that helped us practice for trick or treating tonight! We were scooping, dumping and talking about real vs. not real or fake in our sensory table. We also had so much fun decorating our pumpkins we brought in! (Thanks to the extras that were donated.)



























We explored our pumpkin, inside and out!

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...

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!
