Hello Week #7!

 Hi Pine Families! We are kicking off week 7 together and really in the groove. We will continue to practice our words of the week I WANT. Our invitations at center time have changed and we were super excited to check them out. In our first space we offered more cutting as some friends really enjoyed using scissors. We are starting a color study and at our art table all of our items were _____ (ask your kiddo if they remember the color; red). We also offered a game, Strawberries in a Basket, to help us practice skills like waiting, taking turns, number recognition and counting. In our second space, we opened a grocery store. Friends could pick a grocery list, grab a grocery cart and get to work collecting their items. Some friends enjoyed playing the cashier and checking friends out when they finished their list. Our small world continues to be open and some new items have been added, pumpkins and spider web! Our third area offered time to explore water in the sensory table by using things that squirt; this helps our hands get strong! 

It is sure to be a fun week together but as a heads up, Ms. Carrie will be out Thursday (as well as the following Monday and Tuesday) so there will not be a blog. Thanks for your understanding :)

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!
