Let It Snow!

While sitting at snack the Pine friends were discussing what we could replace our pine cones, hanging from our branch in the classroom, with when it is winter. 

"We could make like the snow falling! We could put cotton balls up to make snowflakes!"
Just then, the kids gasped. 
"Look behind you!"

I turned around to see big snowflakes falling from the grey sky. 

"Can we go see it?"
We headed outside. 




"It's so cold!"
"They are so big!"
"It's turning all white."
"I don't want it to melt!"

After running around for a few minutes the kids wanted to head back inside. Once back in the room they ran over and started stacking blocks up against the window and shelves. 

"We are trying to see the snow!"
"There's so much coming down!"

Seeing as it was getting a bit crowded we decided we should find a window in which we could watch the snow coming down. 




"There's so much coming down!"
"The whole grass is white!"
"Wow, it's pretty."
"It's so cold and white!"



B had a different idea on what he could do with the snow. While the others ran around and tried catching on their tongues, B decided he wanted to see what it tasted like. 


B picked some up and put it into his mouth. 
"Brr!" he exclaimed as he took another mouthful. 

He giggled excitedly as the snow fell around him. Such a fun day!

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.

All the fun

Today was not a typical day in the Pine room. We pulled out some new items to explore, had an impromptu dance party, capered, had a practice fire drill (during snack of all times) and ended out in the sunshine by the snail.  To our sick friends, we wish you well and hope to see you Monday! Have a great weekend :)
