AFC PINE PM

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).

 Hi there Pine friends! We ended our week with some capering fun!

  Hello Pine Family! Ms. Amy came in today to play!

 Happy Tuesday! We enjoyed a trip to the beautiful forest. Our friends jumped, climbed, and explored every inch. Sorry if your kiddo came home a bit dirty :)

Happy Monday Pine Family! Sometimes it's hard to get our week started with smiles but we made it. This week we will be continuing our word of the week HELP. Our center invitations have changed to support our word of the week learning. For our first area, Creation Station, we introduced a new school tool: scissors! We will practice cutting some straight lines, curvy lines and zig zag lines. We never waste our paper, we will turn it all into beautiful art! When our hands get tired of cutting, we are discovering how shapes can be put together to make pictures that look like animals. In our second area, Explore Galore, we opened up a Veterinarian shop so we can practice HELPing care for animals and continue to explore our small world, now with magnifying glasses. In our third area, Discovery Zone, we thought back to our story, One Duck Stuck, and the animals we met. Those animals are available, along with blocks, so our friends can retell the story, HELP build houses, etc. **If anyone ...

 Happy Thursday! It was a great day for pictures outside. Have a great weekend!

Happy Wednesday Pine Friends! Ms. Amy joined us today and brought in a fun and interactive story, One Duck Stuck by Phyllis Root, so we could practice our word of the week HELP. PICTURES ARE TOMORROW!!!!!!
