Absolute Joy!

 Man oh man was the Pine class happy to see the sunshine today! Nobody seemed to enjoy themselves more in the wet rocks today than T did! 

T did not hesitate to dive into some messy play in the wet rocks by the cave. As soon as we arrived outside he headed straight to the pebbles and began filling and pouring rocks in and out the bucket with B. 


The two played side by side for awhile as they filled their containers up and poured them out. Many smiles and happy chit chat occurred between the two for the duration of their play. After awhile though, B got up and wandered off to do something else. T on the other hand took full advantage of the damp ground. 




In this very moment you could feel the joy radiating off of T. He was so immersed in the messy play that he didn't mind the many leaves stuck to his shirt, in his pants, and even on his face! He would roll around, make some rock angles, and drop them right into his lap. In this very moment T was so happy to be right where he was, wet pants and all. T brought so much joy to our classroom today! 

I think about this time last year and T was not the biggest fan of being messy or really wanting to play outside. It is so inspiring to see how a child can transform over a year. I love seeing how their play changes, how their vocabulary expands, and especially how confident they become in the classroom. It was a great way to end our week. 

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!

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 Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Not sure who is a football fan, but YAY CHIEFS!!!!! Let's celebrate this week by wearing Red for the Chiefs big Super Bowl win as well as red (or pink) for Valentine's Day!  Wednesday we are hosting a family pop in to help celebrate Valentine's day in our own Ambrose way. We will be talking all things love and friendship this week and would love to make a friendship mix as a special snack. (Here is the link if you want to donate https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KZGO1UibmZqK9XuNgXpwnY12fq-ZFwgQF6oC37FjaqE/edit?usp=sharing )  We will not be doing store bought Valentine card exchange, but will allow friends to make their own special cards/artwork to give to friends this week!
