Spring Cleaning

Is anyone else able to enjoy some of this warm spring weather?! I am trying my best to do so! One thing I have also taken the opportunity to do is clean! Spring cleaning is happening over at my house and it's been quite therapeutic to really take the time to rearrange, clean, and bring some fresh air into all of the rooms. 

Now that we are all at home, what a great opportunity it might be to take on a new project and clean up just one space at home. Everyone can help too! Young children often respond well to being a helper and often want to help an adult around the house. Providing a 'job' for your child can give them a sense of pride and belonging. 

In the video below, Ms. Julie shows you how cleaning can provide children with purposeful heavy work that may help with burning off some energy as well as giving kids some responsibility. 


Cleaning with Ms. Julie

I hope you all have a great Monday! As we head into the new week, remember to look for celebrations (the smallest of ones too!) and really celebrate them. Bring some joy into the parts of the day that may seem less joyful. 

Miss you all so much!

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!
