Good Afternoon!
Asher and Albert were on the building rug all morning long! These three pictures show a progress of their structure throughout the morning. They started by getting out the magnatiles and chatting—a nice ease into their morning.
Then came the plans! They used the magnatiles to make a garage for their cars. As I walked by, I said, “Wow! Fancy garage.”. They both smiled and said, “Yeah! Fancy!”. They worked all morning long and later told me, “We’re best friends!”. Relationship bonding activities like this are so crucial to our classroom which is why we try to limit transitions and only have them when they’re necessary. They were able to play all morning on the rug together which turned into a meaningful play (and relationship forming) experience.
The sensory bin was full right as breakfast was finishing up. Children have loved exploring the moon sand, especially with the shape cookie cutters! The moon sand forms so nicely in them which allows for children to use it in a variety of ways. Today, Amelia used the cookie cutters to make moon sand ice cream!
William and Hannah continue to perfect their balance beam skills. Not only are they working on their balance but they’re incorporating skills into their beam work. It’s hard training to be an Olympian! 
Paige is our resident insect and bug finder! She found some cicada shells which she had to share right away!
