Messy Messy Day

We have been looking forward to these warm days! This time of the year is the best for many reasons, but one reason in particular is all of the messy play we get to engage in. This morning out on the hillside we got to do all kinds of fun messy things. 

To start, some of the boys picked up spray bottles full of colored water. This is one of our favorite ways to "paint" and talk more about colors. As the kids sprayed the sheet, they watched as the white turned into blue, red, green, and eventually just all purple. 




J found that although the sheet was turning several different colors... so were his hands! He was cracking up as the green color stained his little hands. 



With each spray he became a little more curious. He tested the colors out on the sheet first, but seemed to be dissatisfied with the product. That's when he started spraying his hands a little more. The colors were much more vibrant on his hands than the sheet! With green and purple hands J happily played with his friends on the hillside. 



It wouldn't be messy play without some soapy water! To clean off the rainbow of colors on the kids hands and arms, they could go play in the soapy water. L & T were LOVING the bubbles, so much so L took a little swim to make sure he really got the whole body experience 😉

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.

All the fun

Today was not a typical day in the Pine room. We pulled out some new items to explore, had an impromptu dance party, capered, had a practice fire drill (during snack of all times) and ended out in the sunshine by the snail.  To our sick friends, we wish you well and hope to see you Monday! Have a great weekend :)
