Last day before spring break!

 Hello families! We had such a fun day before we leave for spring break. I was excited to see friends wearing green today for the St. Patrick's Day holiday tomorrow. I hope you all take some time to spend together laughing and relaxing. If you find that you are looking for something to do with your kiddo, here are some ideas that go along with what students have expressed interest in at school! 

We have been exploring a lot with sounds/music, and used our focus words of LISTEN and HEAR and our good question word WHAT, to support our discussions. The kiddos really enjoyed playing with musical instruments. An activity that would support this is to find an empty container and spend time filling it with different objects, shaking, and listening to the various sounds produced. This is a great opportunity to incorporate many skills into play: counting, colors, attributes (hard, round, smooth, small), fast & slow, and quiet & loud, etc. At the conclusion of exploring different sounds, have your kiddo pick their favorite item/sound and keep it in the container. I would love to invite families in for a family pop-in on Monday March 27th at drop off and let your kiddo show off their instrument to the class! At 8:15 we will open the door and allow family to come on in, let your little one hang up their things, and select an arrival activity to do with you. At approximately 8:25 we will gather at the carpet to do our show 'n share. We will end our family time around 8:45. 

Another interest has been birds. We have a bird feeder on our window and birds come to visit. We are observing their colors, sizes, and sounds. You can bring this idea into your home by looking at and discussing birds. If you are interested in finding a book to read about birds that would be another extension of our learning and we would love for you to share that with our class as well! 

Unfortunately we did not finishing our pouring and mixing project of making sensory bottles. We will wrap that up when we return and make sure to send home for you to use.

See you soon :)

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 :)
