Prints in the Snow

This morning started off with both excitement and surprise. The snow was coming down in huge flakes! All of the Pine kids were anxious to get outside and see it on the playscape. We bundled up and headed outside 

"Where did all these footprints come from?!"
E was surprised to see the hundreds of footprints around the playscape heading in every direction. 
"How did they get here?"


"But there aren't many over there. We should make some over there too!"





T & B were also enjoying making a different kind of print in the snow. Hand prints! The two boys took turns touching the cold snow while making shivering noises and giggling. 



The snow provides so many different kinds of observations. While some kids focused on the snow falling and the size of the flakes, E saw how the kids interrupted the stillness and made prints with their feet and hands. She saw how we were impacting the snow.

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 :)

(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!
