Wall Projections

 Hello & welcome back! 

I hope everyone had a relaxing break! We are happy to be back in the classroom to continue our learning and play. It sure is cold outside so the Pine class took a little field trip to a place in the building we have yet to be in this year, the collaboratory! The collaboratory is always a fun place to go with the amount of different activities to participate in as well as materials to engage with. Today, the most perplexing provocation was the overhead projector. Yes, we still have a couple of them here in the building! 

I love the first few seconds of this video below. You can see how J is trying to figure out how the colors and the shape of the blocks were being projected onto the wall in front of him. You can see how he first picks up the block and tries to recreate the block being projected by just holding it up in front of the wall. The clip is short, but quite sweet to watch as J is trying to figure out exactly how this thing works. 


This weeks is showing to be quite chilly, but I wanted to thank you all for always sending your children in the necessary layers they will need to keep warm. We are going to continue to try and be outside and much as possible weather and temperature permitting. Please continue to send in the gloves, hats, coats, etc.

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 :)

so close now....

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!
