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.

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.
