Monday Monday Monday

This week our focus words have changed to MIX, POUR, and WHAT? We love talking about animals and some of our friends have talked about birds specifically so we are going to foster that interest through a new project. The kiddos were given some clay and other materials to make their own bird! We did have a few models for those that wanted/needed. This project will continue throughout the week to allow for them to formulate new ideas to add to it. In the spirit of mixing and pouring, we are keeping our kitchen open and decided to focus in on one meal in particular: Breakfast! Kids are being exposed to eggs, an extension or birds, in this area as well.

Please remember that next week is Spring Break and we will not be together. Our plan is to send home a special activity for you to do and bring back to share on our Family Fun In day! Stay tuned for details :)

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.

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!
