Happy Wednesday!

 Happy Beautiful Wednesday! We went with the flow today while our friend Ms. Kari but mad sure to work on our special words HEAR and LISTEN, and our good question word WHAT.  We played our tap big lines song and our friends were like pros listening to what the music said to do. We then took some of the big straight lines that we are familiar with, added some big curved lines and small curved lines, as well as some other shapes, and made a something really special. Our friends stuck together and listened so well that our picture turned out perfect! Ask your kiddo what we made :) 

We also had fun taking our learning outdoors today! We had our special group time with our friend Ms. Ann on the lower playscape! One friend was digging in the sand and exclaimed that he had found a bird egg! (It was a rock but he was very certain of what he thought it was and I love what other brains think up.) This friend then suggested that we should put it in the tree so the bird could find it.

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.

Celebration!

Happy Monday! Today we started something new before dismissing to go home. Instead of reading a book or shaking our sillies out, we are going to start celebrating our successes for the day!

Because it was the first day, it was a little difficult to think of something to celebrate. I imagine by Thursday the ideas will be flowing! Enjoy the dance party from today's first celebration! 

Cookin' in the Mud Kitchen

  It's always fun to watch kids engage in pretend play at school. One of my favorite places to observe their play is on the hillside in the mud kitchen. It is a place that every child seems to know exactly what to do with the materials inside. Today, L took the time to problem solve a few things and show off her cooking skills in the kitchen.  She started off by serving some of her friends and then getting back to work. In the video you can see how she navigates the environment with ease, but also takes the time to problem solve where she will get more "food." She encounters some barriers, but with a little guidance she pursued and stuck with the activity most of our time out on the hillside. She made comments to her friends, asked questions, and engaged in a lot of self talk.  Pretend play is such an important part of development for all young children. It expands play skills and gives them a little taste of what the world is like outside of school.  Have a safe, fu...
