Slow Sliding

 The rain never stops us from enjoying ourselves outside! Although we typically go to the forest on Wednesdays, we opted to play out on the playscape instead. The slide/rock box is one of their favorite sections to play in so we figured we would take advantage. As you can imagine most everything was soaking wet so after the kids put some rain boots and jackets on we were ready to go. 

All of the kids were quite excited to go down the slide, but because of the dampness, they slid down going in slow motion! It was hilarious because the kids would quickly climb up the stairs or rocks, sit down, prepare for a slick ride, and then just stop in the middle or barely move down. We were cracking up and it didn't seem to bother anyone!

Most of them said "stuck" or "slow" to describe their sliding experience today. I honestly think it made more of the kids want to slide down because they weren't going down as fast as they normally were! 


T is one kid in particular that usually flies down the slide no matter how hard he tries to control his speed. Fortunately the condition of the slide played to his advantage and he was able to go down in a slow and controlled manner. He was quite happy 😊

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 :)

Can you believe that we only have one more day together this school year? Today we celebrated the second to last day with a summer bday celebration. We also revealed our tie dyed shirts! (we only did a light rinse, beware that colors will run when you wash!!) TOMORROW: WATER DAY! You need to wear your suit, water friendly shoes, sunscreen already applied, water bottle, towel and dry clothes to change into!
