Happy Monday

Hello Pine family and welcome back once again! We are starting week 20 this week and our 2nd week of the new year. We are focusing on some new magic words, UP and DOWN. We will be exploring these words through music and movement as well as incorporating them into our play. Our invitations for centers are cars and ramps, faux snow, and bakery (kitchen). We will encourage friends to explore how cars move on the ground versus on the ramps, how ramps can change how cars move depending on their positions, etc. For sensory exploration our faux snow can allow kids to engage in language about color, texture, smell, etc. In our dramatic play/social explorations, we can pretend to be bakers and make gingerbread people, which will go along with some new books that have been added to our library. During this time we focused on what to do first and next, colors, shapes, and taking turns.

Today we welcomed our new friend!!! He was a little scared but our kind pine family helped him settle in and enjoy his day :)

*A quick change of plans today as the faux snow was a no go! We quickly changed to magnet tiles and polar animals. Fingers crossed for the snow to be a go tomorrow!

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...
