Balancing Act

 We were so lucky to get out before this rain/snow mix started happening. Although it was much colder than it has been the last couple of weeks, it was still nice to get out and stretch our legs. The sandbox is typically a place where the boys enjoy, but today they weren't ask excited to get to digging in the sand. I don't blame them, the sand felt so cold! Some of the boys didn't give up on playing however, they just found a different way to engage with the space. 

 


Along the edge of the sandbox are large boulders that create a barrier that will hopefully encourage kids to keep the sand in 😁 Those large rocks, however, served more than just their intended purpose for the Pine room today! Throughout our time outside a few of them tested their balance by trying to walk along them without falling off. This is something a few of them have done in the past, but today they were determined to make it all the way around without falling off. Some of those rocks are slippery so it was quite difficult! 





A, J, & W were all walking along at their own pace when B noticed his friends. 
"Up?" He asked and with a little bit of help he was making his way across the large rocks. Love to see peer encouragement!

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 :)

Monday 2/12

 Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Not sure who is a football fan, but YAY CHIEFS!!!!! Let's celebrate this week by wearing Red for the Chiefs big Super Bowl win as well as red (or pink) for Valentine's Day!  Wednesday we are hosting a family pop in to help celebrate Valentine's day in our own Ambrose way. We will be talking all things love and friendship this week and would love to make a friendship mix as a special snack. (Here is the link if you want to donate https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KZGO1UibmZqK9XuNgXpwnY12fq-ZFwgQF6oC37FjaqE/edit?usp=sharing )  We will not be doing store bought Valentine card exchange, but will allow friends to make their own special cards/artwork to give to friends this week! 

so close now....

Can you believe that we only have one more day together this school year? Today we celebrated the second to last day with a summer bday celebration. We also revealed our tie dyed shirts! (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!
