Painting the Alphabet

The kids in the morning have started showing some interest in letters! This morning some of the kids chose to engage a little more with some letters by painting. Canvases were prepared ahead of time with masking tape to create each letter. It was up to each child how he wanted to paint the letters. B took to his hands because what's more fun than squishing paint between your fingers?! J decided he was more of a paintbrush kind of guy and gently painted a rainbow of colors onto a letter.

We haven't painted in a long time and it was nice to get back into it! The boys always enjoy a good painting experience and usually turn it into a sensory one too. At the end of the day the boys dove into a box full of magnetic letters where J proudly told us each letter and the occasional number. The other boys watched him as he said the number or letter and put it on the board. Within a few seconds everyone was trying to name letters as they put them on the board. It was a great imitation and peer interactions. Love it!

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.
