Good Afternoon!

Rowan asked to get a clipboard out this morning. She attached a piece of paper to it and grabbed a pencil. She came up to the island and asked, “Do you want to come to my birthday party?”—if you didn’t know, this is the most asked question during this age!

James quickly became intrigued and asked if he could do the same thing. Another peer quickly joined and the three of them sat at the island, talking about the letters in their names as well as the names of their peers and teachers.

The peer who was sitting next to James taught him how to write the first letter in his name: a C!

It was a wonderfully authentic activity that children initiated by themselves. Teachers of course stood by on the sidelines waiting to answer any questions that they may have.

Back in habitrail, Evie and Nesta made a boat out of wooden blocks. Evie steered the boat and shared that they were going to the store!

Millie used the plastic blocks to make a car and right away, two friends joined her in the car. As they were driving down the road, Millie all of a sudden said, “Ahh. Flat tire!”

Our kindergarteners helped collect sticks in the backyard for future art projects. Friends scattered throughout the yard, diving into activities and ending with books on the deck!

Good Afternoon!

Children were busy this morning, diving into various activities.

Our schedule allows us to call an audible so we decided to go outside a little early this morning before it got really humid. We came in about an hour before lunch which allowed friends time to continue their play from this morning.

Happy Monday!

Our Monday was spent welcoming another new friend! Children were quick to show their new peer around the environment.

Housekeeping was busy as children dressed up or played grocery using pretend credit cards!

Mack and Sophia serenaded the classroom as they played the piano.

Being outside brought out our huge smiles and curious hands. With the amount of rain we got over the weekend, there were quite a lot of weeds so children got to work and picked weeds to use in their play!

If your child is in the ‘why’ stage, you’ll appreciate this blog. If not, you have something to look forward to! Almost all children go through the infamous ‘why’ stage; asking why continuously. I really liked what Teacher Tom said: “I understand why overwhelmed adults might find such a seemingly endless game aggravating, but it’s important to know that they aren’t doing it to get on your nerves. Most of the time, it’s a genuine attempt to get closer to the truth as each answer leads to more questions much the way that there is always one more shovelful of sand to remove from a hole.”
