Good Afternoon!

We celebrated Katherine’s 4th birthday today! Thank you for the yummy birthday treat! We hope you had a fantastic birthday!

Children quickly gathered at the circle table where they explored loose parts. Dominos and colorful bears were placed on the table with a bowl on each tray. Activities such as this one where there’s a collection of loose parts made available and no “rules” offer children an opportunity to use their imagination.

One child decided to place the dominos in a large square and placed on teddy bear on each domino, authentically working on one to one correspondence.

Before we headed outside, Miss Tami clipped some fresh herbs from our aero-garden that we have set up in the kitchen. A collection of basil and dill wafted through our classroom. William sat down with the herbs at the circle table as children came up, requesting to smell them. It made our classroom smell so lovely! Later on in the day, green onions were offered as a topping to our pasta!

We were able to soak up some sunshine this morning even though it was a bit chilly. By the time we went inside for lunch, it was nice out! A few children asked if they could get the wooden blocks out of the shed. They worked together to create various ramps for their cars and trucks.
