Familiar Interests

Does anyone else feel like this week has flown by!? I can't believe it's already Thursday. To wrap up our busy week, we ended our day of play in the gym. The gym is a large space with a LOT of different choices to make. This can sometimes make things more challenging when it comes time for a child to make a decision on what he or she would like to do. One strategy we use in the Pine room is to limit the amount of choices in order for the kids to come to a decision on what they would like to play.

Both L & A have shown a lot of interest in playing with all kinds of different balls. Thankfully, we are fully prepared with just about any kind you can think of-inflatable, noisy, big, small, sticky, light up, you name it and we have it. So today it was easy for both of them to make a decision on what they wanted to do- the ball wall!

As the boys have now spent several months in the Pine room and have shown a lot of developmental growth, we are seeing much more purposeful play that's lasting for up to 10-15 minutes! This is so exciting to watch and be a part of! The Pine team is endlessly proud of what these boys do day to day and week to week. We are prepared and looking forward to take on the rest of this school year!

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 :)

Happy First Day of School 24-25!

Welcome Pine Families to our 24-25 school year! We were so happy to have your kiddos with us today. Check out the fun we had :)

Day 2 Pine room fun!

Today we spent more time getting to know each other and exploring our spaces. For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.
