Playdoh Exploration

T walked over to the table full of playdoh and took a seat. He grabbed a huge hunk of playdoh and started squeezing it between his fingers and smashing it between his palms. He smiled as the dough oozed between the cracks of his fingers.

T played in the dough with just his hands for awhile before he noticed the basket of tools sitting in front of him. His face lit up when he saw the different cookie cutters.

"Tree!"

He picked up the tree and smashed it straight into the playdoh.

L picked up the star and began singing quietly to herself

"Twinkle twinkle little star..."

and then pushed it into her mound of dough. She laughed as she stamped the stencil into the playdoh repeatedly, noticing how the stars began to overlap one another creating a different pattern with the star shape.

The two continued to work across the table from one another passing tools to one another, joining in on songs like "twinkle twinkle little star," and just enjoying the calming play.

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.

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 :)

so close now....

Can you believe that we only have one more day together this school year? Today we celebrated the second to last day with a summer bday celebration. We also revealed our tie dyed shirts! (we only did a light rinse, beware that colors will run when you wash!!) TOMORROW: WATER DAY! You need to wear your suit, water friendly shoes, sunscreen already applied, water bottle, towel and dry clothes to change into!
