Hello Pine Family and welcome to week 4 of school! This week we are continuing some of the same fun things we did last week, but of course discovering new things as well. We are practicing our words GO and STOP in various ways: music & movement, stories, and activities. Some friends asked for cars and we explored how to make them STOP and GO. Our invitations for centers included: the sensory table, with a friends treasure hunt using tongs, practicing friend's names and matching; the dramatic play area with office supplies encouraging students to find the letters in their names; and playdough that was colored RED like STOP that we could roll, smash and create with. We celebrated a new friend Jackson joining us today and his 3rd Birthday! He decorated his birthday tree cookie and has started our classroom birthday mosaic and we all wore his favorite color blue. Our friend Reef celebrated his birthday on Friday Sept. 9th but since we weren't at school we would like to celebrate him tomorrow! Please wear his favorite color RED to school!!

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.      "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope."        B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.               The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.    "It needs a propeller so it can move!"     How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like?     The kids got to work on some research about wh...
