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!
