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 😊

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 :)

Happy First Day of School 24-25!

 Welcome Pine Families to our 24-25 school year! We were so happy to have your kiddos with us today. Check out the fun we had :)

Day 2 Pine room fun!

Today we spent more time getting to know each other and exploring our spaces. For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.
