The River and the Bridge

C walked into the collaboratory and headed straight to the big blue blocks. He began constructing a tall tower, choosing which blocks should stack on one another very carefully. When he was satisfied with the height of the tower he began lying down longer blue blocks beside it. Once finished, he started laughing and clapping. 

"Look what I did!"

B came running over to check it out.
"What is it?" B asked with curiosity. 
"It's a bridge and a tower. The big bad monster lives under the bridge and we can't wake him up!"


E noticed what C had built and explained that she made a river that was running next to his tower and bridge. 

When asked, "how can the river go under the bridge?"
The Pine friends looked puzzled. 
"Well, this is the bridge over here and the bridge is over there."




C perked up and thought of a solution as to how the animals that live in the water could get through the tower. 




C started poking his hands and fingers into various holes holes in the blocks and explained,
"Well like the sharks and fish can go through this hole, and then this hole, and this hole, and this hole, and then they can come out! It's like a tunnel."

The Pine friends always seem to find a solution to a problem, even if it may not always be the most obvious.

 It was a Ms Amy day!

Happy Wednesday

 How lucky are we that it was nice weather which allowed for much needed outside time!

Happy New Year!

 Hello Pine AM friends! It is so nice to see you guys again after 20 days! I hope everyone enjoyed the time off and maybe even a little fun in the snow. Today we only had 2 kiddos come to school which felt so strange but we made the best of it. We will be ready to fully jump back in the swing of things next week with new words IN and OUT, exploring our expanded Bakery and Cafe in our dramatic play area, reading stories about winter and hands on experiences with things that are cold.
