Nature Walk in the Warm Sun

I think I can speak for everyone when I say we were SO excited to take a little nature walk around the neighborhood and soak up the sunshine. As we walked the kids picked up anything that fancied them, but the most popular nature find were those prickly gumballs!

B & T were especially curious about the little spikes coming out of them. B did his best to carry as many as he could, while T was content with just holding one and then passing some out to whoever wanted one.

J found it particularly interesting to use a stick to hit the gumball around like a hockey puck!

As we walked the boys noticed the melting ice and snow, the birds singing, and the sun shining nice and bright. It was a great way to end our busy day 🌞

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.

Happy Monday!

Today was a special day in Pine room. Our friend Ari had a birthday on Thurs Nov 30, but unfortunately was out sick, so we had the celebration today! He chose a PJ day, was the special helper during circle time, our music master during music and movement, and shared his favorite book Creepy Carrots ! Some friends made him special birthday cards on Thursday to give him today as well. Finally, Ari decorated his special (birth)day canvas which is hanging in the hallway. Friends could also check out some fun pictures of him hanging on our Special Day board in the classroom. This week we are continuing with the words IN and OUT with music, stories, and play. We are exploring Space Art, leaves in the wind tunnel, small world, baby dolls, and roads and cars.
