Parachute

 We had such a fun Tuesday morning! Today was the first day that all three boys really engaged and participated fully during our meeting time with Julie. These days are usually filled with a lot of movement, music, and high energy. Today was no different! We introduced the mini parachute to the boys. We first began by just practicing holding onto the parachute and moving it up and down. Giggles filled the room as it was creating a sort of windy effect. As the boys became more familiar with lifting it high and then down low, we paired some favorite songs to keep them up and moving. 

Unfortunately I do not have a video of such sweet playing. With three busy boys it's all hands on deck when playing new or unfamiliar games. Each boy took a turn going under the parachute and allowing the movement of the fabric put them into a calming trance. The game lasted about 10 or so minutes and the boys continued to stay engaged as songs changed and demands increased. It was so refreshing to hear laughs and giggles as well as seeing eyes crinkle when smiles emerged from under their masks. Another successful day! 

We tried recreating the magic in the gym, but the parachute just couldn't compete with the other activities around the room. Here is just a short clip of L enjoying himself within the parachute. Have a great afternoon and see you tomorrow!

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 :)
