Friendship Forest

It's always a good day when we get to add another friend to the Pine class. Today, all of the boys have really displayed a lot of patience, kindness, and love towards one another!

On the way to the forest, B noticed L was sitting in the wagon. At first, he was a bit jealous, but quickly was able to figure out another way he could be a part of the wagon experience. With a little bit of guidance, B walked right up behind the wagon and began to help me "push" the wagon all the way to the forest!

The boys looked at one another, sharing eye contact and some other communication. L would point to the different things he saw and B looked with him. The two babbled back and forth and really seemed to make a little bit of a connection as we strolled on to the forest.

The rest of our time spent at the forest all of the boys enjoyed playing side by side. They would help one another out, look for each other on the paths, and were especially happy to be sitting and eating with one another once we returned to school.

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 :)

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.

All the fun

Today was not a typical day in the Pine room. We pulled out some new items to explore, had an impromptu dance party, capered, had a practice fire drill (during snack of all times) and ended out in the sunshine by the snail. To our sick friends, we wish you well and hope to see you Monday! Have a great weekend :)
