welcome week 17

 Hello Pine Family! It is the countdown to winter break and lots of holiday festivities for families! We are hoping and wishing and crossing our fingers for all to stay healthy. We did have some friends out and we wished them well. If there is something families would like to help work on at home, especially this time of year, it would be caring for runny noses. We are doing our best to keep up with them at school but please note there will be some extra hand washing with noses being wiped with hands which can lead to dry and chapped skin. But besides all the self care help going on we are also focusing on new words MAKE and DO. Our friends have been sharing ideas of what they would like to learn and/or play with at school. This week we are exploring playdough, marble run, and camping. 

*Update on Family Fun-In: We would like to invite families in on Tuesday Dec 20th during drop off time at 11:15. We encourage you to come on in, watch your kiddo independently complete their arrival routine like pros and then sit for a special activity with them. We will have to say good-bye @ 12:45 as we transition to the gym for our indoor gross motor time. This may be hard for some of our friends but have no fear, teachers will dry tears and give lots of love to those that need it. 

We want to do some fun dress up days that week as well, we will let you know what those are soon!

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!
