Connecting Communities

Did you know there are more kids that attend the in our afternoon session? It's true! Unfortunately, our AM kids do not have a chance to meet these awesome PM kids, but that still doesn't mean we cannot make an attempt to bridge the two communities! Today, we are attempting to do just that. 

Community building is such an important part of our larger community of Ambrose and our even bigger Webster community! So how can we do it? How can we start with our little Pine class? The forest is one place that both classes thoroughly enjoy so we figured this would be a great place to try. 

Our start to our community building is through a simple game of hide and find. N & L worked on painting rocks bright  beautiful colors that they then hid around the forest! 







N took the lead and showed L how to spread the paint all over the rocks and making sure to cover every square inch. Once they were covered, the boys ran off to play while they sat and dried. 

Before we left, however, L took part in hiding these rocks for our PM class! 



He chose some super secret spots around the forest. This might be really tricky! 

This is just the beginning of how we will bridge the two classes together. I find it important to make our class feel more like a school family that works together, take care of one another, and plays together. We can't wait to see if the afternoon class can find them!

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!
