It's Thursday!

 It was a bittersweet day for the Pine Room Family as we had to say good-bye to our friend Aidan who moving to a new school. We took time to make him a special gift and put him in our hearts and sang our We wish you well song. 

We explored self portraits again today with playdough and dry erase markers.







We definitely love exploring with blocks and using our imagination to create fun new things.





Joey was showing me how he can roll a ball with the playdough.




Everett was proud to make his Grandma's face with the playdough.




Joey said, "Look, it's me and my Dad!"

We decided to bring out the trains today.


Climbing on the snail is so much fun! Aidan is gonna miss his favorite spot on our playscape.



Another class at our school made a home for critters. They worked so hard to find all the parts and put it together. They even made a sign asking friends to help keep it nice.






Weston was proud of a neat rock he found.


Ms. Jennifer helped our friends make a beautiful going away gift.


Ms. Kari helped us make poppers earlier this week and they are still a big hit! For a nice DIY toy at home you can make this using a pool noodle, a balloon, some tape and a pom pom.


A cool fine motor activity we had out today was stringing beads. We explored different shapes, colors, sizes and created fun patterns.


Things that Go (roll) are some of our favorite things to play with!

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 :)
