"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?

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!
