Curiosity

Welcome to a new week! 

Today, the boys' curiosity really drove a lot of what we did this morning. Our morning began like any other, but there was something new one one of the tables... floam!

 N sat with a big pile of floam and explored the strange bubbly texture. He would roll it on the table and watch the small sticky balls stick to his hands and table. N giggled as he tried to peel each one off. He made several attempts to try and "break" the floam, but didn't find much success. That didn't stop him from trying out different ways to play with it: hiding animals, dropping it off the table, and finally pressing hard onto the table to make it flat. 

Across the table, however, L sat with his floam and furrowed brow. In the video below you can see how L examines the floam with such curiosity! For about the next 10 minutes, L sat with his floam really studying it and moving it around to explore it in its entirety. Just look at those eyebrows! 



The curiosity didn't just stop at the small stuff, it continued with the big stuff too! We took a long walk today and added in some necessary curiosity breaks. N wasn't too happy that today wasn't our forest day, but he was excited to be able to check out a tree close to the sidewalk to practice his climbing. As he climbed, he quickly realized his shoes were too wet to climb on the higher branches. 




N climbed up and noticed the moss growing between the bark on the tree. He ran his fingers up and down the bark before finally sliding off the trunk and trying it again.  



Our last curiosity break was the teeniest and tiniest wondering. L plopped down onto the sidewalk and began following an ant crawling across the cold cement. He got up close and personal with the ant before losing him under a leaf. 

It was a great day to start off our week!

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 :)

(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!
