Rolling Down the Hillside

To end our third week of school, the boys spent most of the morning out on the hillside. During our first week of school N found the big plastic spools and has really enjoyed being able to roll them down the hill. As soon as we hit the hillside today, N ran straight to the spools. He began to play his normal game of giving them a slight push so they start to roll, but makes sure he is running ahead of them. He did this a few times and finally caught L's attention. 

In the video below you can see how N rolls the spools down the hill and L watching him. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to catch what happened next. L walked over to the basket and picked up a playground ball. He gave it a big throw to watch it tumble down the hill. It was so great to watch him imitate N! As the play went on, I noticed that N was beginning to run ahead of the spools and would stop where he thought they might end up. He was trying to predict where they would eventually crash! Although his many attempts were unsuccessful, he didn't stop trying. We love to see these little moments of development!

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 :)
