"You Have to be Strong!"

While walking through the forest, E noticed a long branch hanging from a tree.

"Look, it's hanging down. It goes all the way up there, but I can reach it down here!"

She gave it a tug and realized it was stuck.

B turned around and watched how the branch swung back and forth when E would let go of it. That seemed to give him and some others an idea.

B grabbed the branch between his hands, jumped up while holding on tight, and lifted his legs.

No luck. He was unsuccessful in his attempt to swing on the branch.

"You have to be strong to swing on it!"

E stepped up, grabbed the branch, jumped up, and swung gracefully above the forest floor.

"E is swinging upside down! He is so strong! I think I can swing like that too if I take off these big gloves."

The boys took turns swinging above the ground. They giggled as they would swing and fall or land gracefully on both feet. Do you just need to be strong to swing on the branch or does it depend if you are wearing gloves?

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 :)

the end is near

Today was so much fun! We were missing some of our teachers but we had a blast together in PJs playing with Cicadas! Tomorrow (WED) is birthday celebration: wear blue, Bluey, letters Thurs is water day! We will have a have a sprinkler, a baby pool, and other water related fun. Please have your kiddo in their suit, water friendly shoes, and sunscreen! Also make sure to bring a towel and dry clothes to clean up with at the end. (If your child is in a diaper/pull-up, please make sure to SEND a water diaper and we will put on right before we get wet!!!)
