Sandy Hands

 This week one of the choices our morning friends had was to play in some kinetic sand. We LOVE this sand because of how moldable it is as well as how easy it is to clean up 😉 The play at the sand varies between each child. While some like fill up the small cups and dump them out, others bury small toys and try to find them. Today some of our friends decided to put some new loose materials into the sand.

How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...

Happy March

 Pine Family, welcome to March! It was an eventful day for us with Ms. Julie coming to visit for center time, a tornado drill, a birthday, and met a new friend Oliver! Of course we practiced our new words put and where. We also made sure to enjoy the gorgeous weather today by pulling on some boots and stomping in the mud. To end our wonderful Tuesday we wished Logan a very happy 5th birthday!
