Rainy Day Blues

Good morning, everyone! 

I don't know about all of you, but this cloudy weather is really making me feel quite tired and a little stir crazy. As much as I love a good thunderstorm or some rain, I also really love being able to be outside in the sunshine. Unfortunately, I don't think that's in the forecast this week. However, Ms. Margie and Toffee found a way to beat these rainy day blues! 

This activity is so easy to create just from some materials you may have at home! Ms. Margie was able to use some extra salt she had in her cabinet, but you could use a number of different things to draw in. You could try sand, shaving cream, or even dry rice! 


I wonder what letters you can make? Can you try and spell your name? What about drawing a picture?! 

If you want to use rice, and have a lot of it to spare, you can even dye the rice! In the beginning of the year our kids from the afternoon class helped dye the rice different colors using a little bit of rubbing alcohol and some food coloring!

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 :)
