Mud Kitchen

 There are some weeks we can't go to the forest simply because of weather. Today, however, we forwent going to the forest so the boys could play in an area we don't typically spend much time in, the mud kitchen! This part of the hillside isn't visited often because of the simple rotating schedule we abide by for all of the different zones that are roped off. Since the boys have really shown expanding play skills we figured the mud kitchen would be a nice change.

It was quite successful! As soon as the door of the kitchen opened up, the boys began exploring. They got out pots, pans, muffin tins, bowls, spoons, and cups to begin their pretend play. While some were more interested than others in prepping food, those who chose not to found another way to play. We had some cooks at the stove and a kitchen jam band near by providing all kinds of enjoyable music. A busy musical morning for our Wednesday 😊

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 :)
