Happy Monday

Welcome to week #6! We have some new words of the week we will be practicing: I WANT. These words help your child advocate for things that they want. These words really come in handy when a friend has something that we want to play with, when we want to eat/drink, when we want something that is not currently available, etc. We will practice how to appropriately/kindly ask for things that we want (we have a visual tap/look/ask we will refer to) both directly through reading books, role playing, etc. and indirectly through modeling during play times. 

Practicing how to use our school tool scissors and turn our paper scraps into beautiful art!






Some friends really enjoy retelling our story One Duck Stuck




We talked about what we WANT to make with our blocks




Friends continued to practice how to HELP care for animals by pretending to be a veterinarian. 




Exploring how shapes can make pictures (of animals). We also noticed some cool color mixing!




A couple friends worked together to create a road for their trucks. When they discovered that the trucks were too big for the road, they used their problem solving skills to ask the teacher for smaller trucks!


We ended our day exploring some new materials and noticed we could make vehicles!

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!
