It’s a brand new month

Can you believe we are already in December?! After today, only 10 more days of school until winter break….

Yesterday we introduced a calendar visual. We had a discussion about the parts of the calendar: name of the month, year, days of the week, number for each day, etc. An X was put on each stay at home day so they could see how many days of school remain until winter break! We also briefly discussed that different celebrations occur during the month which may inspire further learning opportunities.

Today your kiddo helped generate ideas for activities to help fill our remaining days. We played mystery box for the letter L, explored new ways to play with slime, and even made letters in the Collabratory.

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.

"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!
