Identifying Feelings

This morning started out like any other. Everyone came in, wrote their names, and then began to play at the various invitations around the room. About half of the friends settled around a train set and began building an elaborate train track that snaked across the carpet. Everyone was playing side by side, commenting on the different tracks they were building, creating a dialogue between the trains, and even trying to figure out how to make the track connect. But then something happened between the small group.

C stood up, brow furrowed, and walked over to our feelings chart. He independently chose his name from the list and looked at each of the different faces expressing different emotions.

This then sparked something in the others. Just then, all of the other kids began choosing their names and moving their names to the feeling face in which they were feeling.

Because we have been working on identifying our feelings the last two weeks, this is was huge! The kids are beginning to talk more about all of the kinds of feelings they can have and what makes them feel that way. E said it best today.

"You can't always be happy because you have a lot of feelings inside!"

We couldn't agree more 😊

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 :)

Happy First Day of School 24-25!

Welcome Pine Families to our 24-25 school year! We were so happy to have your kiddos with us today. Check out the fun we had :)

Day 2 Pine room fun!

Today we spent more time getting to know each other and exploring our spaces. For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.
