Forest Exploration

As we headed into the dense forest, E was excited to start exploring in between the trees and along the overgrown paths. He set out behind some of his friends and began his journey.

E worked hard climbing over all of the obstacles. He watched as his friends navigated their way through and imitated their movements.

"Come this way!"

"I have a stick."

E dug in the dirt for some time with a friend from Magnolia. They used sticks to dig into the wet dirt. They said they were looking for bugs. Unsuccessful, E moved back into the dense trees.

"A tree!"

"I climb up."

"I'm a monkey!"

E tried climbing the first tree,but found it difficult. He looked to his right and noticed a short stump under a branch. E carefully stepped up and chose an easier tree to climb.

"Monkey! Ooo aahh!!"

E took the time to find out which parts of the forest he could manage. When he faced a difficult obstacle, he simply looked for other ways to achieve his goal. He never gave up on his quest to climb the tree. E persevered and used flexible thinking to find an easier way to be successful!

Week 2 Day 2

Pine Family is rocking and rolling in week 2! We are having less feelings of sad, mad, and scared upon entering class and more happy and fun throughout the day! Friendly reminders: Water bottles should only come to school filled with water (it's the best for our bodies and in case another student would accidently take a sip it won't cause harm), sunscreen should be applied before drop off (there is not a lot of shade and not a lot of time for us to get the kiddos all lathered up), and bug spray should be applied before drop off (this is mostly needed when we start going to the forest on Tuesdays, starting on Sept 12th). Thanks :)

Welcome back

Happy Tuesday! I hope you enjoyed your extra long weekend together but glad to see you all today. We changed out our word of the week, ask your kiddo if they remember what it is (PUT). At centers we continued exploring small world and our bakery. We opened the sensory table again and some faux snow and polar animals which was a big hit! We also changed out our gross motor center, changing out our obstacle course (crawl through tunnel, jump 10 times on the trampoline, and (steam)roll or summersault on the mat) for some thing new. Ask your kiddo if they tried to scoop the snowball, carry it across the balance beam and PUT it on the snowman.

Happy Monday!

Today was a special day in Pine room. Our friend Ari had a birthday on Thurs Nov 30, but unfortunately was out sick, so we had the celebration today! He chose a PJ day, was the special helper during circle time, our music master during music and movement, and shared his favorite book Creepy Carrots ! Some friends made him special birthday cards on Thursday to give him today as well. Finally, Ari decorated his special (birth)day canvas which is hanging in the hallway. Friends could also check out some fun pictures of him hanging on our Special Day board in the classroom. This week we are continuing with the words IN and OUT with music, stories, and play. We are exploring Space Art, leaves in the wind tunnel, small world, baby dolls, and roads and cars.
