Snow... But Inside!

 Yesterday we were able to enjoy the snow as it fell ever so softly onto the ground as we walked up and down the streets of Webster. It was towards the end of the day so we didn't spend much time playing in it. This morning, however, we decided to bring some of that snow in our classroom to get a better look at it! 

At first the boys were digging in with their hands. B would exclaim how cold it was while J & L pressed their hands in it to make prints. After a few minutes it was evident that it was too cold to touch, so we got out the paintbrushes and began to draw around in the snow with both ends. I am happy it was cold enough for the snow to stick around so we could play with it today. These kinds of sensory experiences can be so enriching!

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 :)
