Who Has the Biggest Feet?

On our way back from the gym B noticed something about V's feet.

"Hey, I have bigger feet than V!"

"Yeah my feet are smaller than yours."

"I wonder who has the biggest feet?"
"Ms. Jill! She has really big feet."

When we got back to the room they decided we should find out who has the biggest feet.

How could we measure our feet?

E sat and thought for a minute.

"Like we have to first count our feet and then we have to know what their temperature is."

This was an interesting solution, but the other kids didn't seemed convinced. She thought again and moved to the center of the carpet across from B.

Without any prompting E put her feet up against B's. They both looked at their shoes and noticed that the toes of E's were just slightly taller than B's.

"I have bigger feet than B. I need to sit by you because you [Ms. Jill] have bigger feet too."

C sat down and put his feet against B's.

"Um mine are like his and we have the same."

Everyone took turns measuring their feet against B's.They agreed that if their feet were bigger than B's feet they needed to sit between him and E, but if they were smaller they would need to sit between B & V.

As they continued to determine who needed to sit where they also started talking about why their feet were different sizes.

"Well I am four and so is E so that's why we have the same size feet."

"T has the smallest feet because he is only 3."

"Ms. Jill, you have the biggest feet because you're older than we are!"

"V has small feet too and she's three!"

By the end of our meeting the kids had determined who had the biggest feet and who had the smallest. At lot of their conversations revolved around how their feet correlated with how old they were. Is this true?

Why do people have different size feet? Do you get bigger feet the older you get?

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.
