Stop on the Slide?

 Finally, our day to play on the slide! It has been highly anticipated all week as the boys have been asking to go down the slide since Monday morning. But, before heading outside we had a little meeting with Ms. Kari where we focused on the word 'stop.' During our meeting we talked about different times we could use the word and then practiced stopping and going with our bodies. Always an interesting time! The boys put their jackets on and where ready to go right out and door and down the slide. 

As soon as the door opened to the playscape the boys ran over to the slide cheering with excitement. There was one issue though... it was full of water from the snow yesterday! 

"It's wet!" T exclaimed. 

"Uh oh." W remarked as he saw the droplets of water rolling down the slide. 

We came all this way to GO and ended up having to STOP! Did I think we would be practicing 'stop' on the slide? Absolutely not, but it happened to work out quite nicely since we just talked about it. Naturally reinforcing 😊

Ms. Jenn ran inside to grab a towel. The boys waited SO patiently and seemed to understand that we could not go down the slide until it was dry. As Ms. Jenn wiped it down, the boys watched her. 

"It's dry!" T said as he tested the side of the slide. 

"Go down!" W said as his eyes lit up from excitement. 

Once the slide was clear, the boys went at it! 



If you are looking for ways to incorporate the word "stop" into your day at home and get more practice, here are some good movement and music songs you can try!

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 :)
