Ball Wall Bonanza

 Oh I am so happy to see everyone after so may days of being off! It was the perfect day to stay inside and get back into the swing of things. We had the opportunity to spend part of our morning in the collboratory (motor room)! The boys started off great and really stayed engaged with the ball wall in particular. It was a hotspot for fun! 

B got it started as he began putting together multiple different tunnel pieces together to make a long tube for the ball to roll down. 




B noticed there was a small barrier in his original design. The ball kept getting stuck! He was puzzled as he patiently waited for the ball to come out the other end. Nothing. Instead of getting upset, he decided to take the whole thing apart and use just once piece, his favorite! 



This then inspired T to come over and play too! 


T also grabbed some new pieces and began adding them to create a larger ball track. I love seeing this simple form of imitation during play! The two boys used some problem solving skills to do exactly what they wanted to do. 

Stay safe out there!

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 :)

(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!
