Nature Collection

Good morning! The boys started their morning off with a great start! After a meeting with Ms. Kari, we got ourselves ready to go play at the forest. Once we arrived N immediately went down the first path he saw to get into the forest, L on the other hand stuck around on the outskirts to get a better look at things. 

L wandered around the open space looking at the trees and then at the ground. Something caught his eye! He quickly bent down and grabbed a big ole stick. In the past few weeks L would normally just pick up one and walk around with it, but today he continued to pick up sticks as he walked. This gave us an idea- start a nature collection! 



L walked around the outside of the forest grabbing different sticks and leaves to put into our collection bag. He would first examine what he found and then gently place it into the bag. Once he was satisfied with what he found outside the forest, he headed down the path into the forest. 



As he walked through the dense greenery L pointed at the many different trees, leaves, and bugs flying around. He continued to watch with curiosity as he teetered his way towards the center of the wooded area. 

Every few feet he would stop, look around on the ground, and then find the perfect stick or walnut to put into the bag. 




He made a HUGE collection to add to our nature loom from last week. Days at the forest are always enjoyable, but they are even better when we have some purpose for our play. 



At the end of our time at the forest, N & L were settled together writing in a small patch of dirt. L was experimenting with different ways to draw while N was practicing writing some letters. These boys always find a way to entertain themselves 😊

Submarine Update

Yesterday the Pine friends continued their exploration on how to create a submarine out of a box. They first started drawing sketches of how it should look.  "It needs to have windows!" "We should make it yellow too." "It also needs a telescope (periscope)." Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
