welcome back!

Hello Pine family! I hope you all had a great long holiday weekend. We are jumping right into week 3 with our words of the week STOP and GO. To help us practice we will use music, books and our invitations at centers. This week we invited our kiddos to build an obstacle course, go bowling and explore cars and ramps. Some academic skills naturally embedded in this play are colors, letters, and numbers. We are discussing fast and slow, how to wait and take turns, and help manage our feelings. We have been practicing a train breath to help our bodies when we feel sad, mad, scared or out of control, but this week we introduced the snake breath! See if your kiddo can demonstrate these for you!

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.

I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow.  "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
