Happy Friday!

This morning, a group of friends worked on building a variety of structures with our notch blocks.  They first built a truck with windows in from and back.  Next they built a house using a piece across the top as the beginning of a roof.  We offered a piece of fabric to help with the roof project,  which was happily received!  Building three dimensionally is a wonderful developmental activity.  It creates a situation where kids need to visualize a problem as well as the solutions in a three dimensional way.  That process pushes kid’s critical thinking and creative problem solving skills.  Working on projects like this in groups offers the opportunity to develop communication, group problem solving and cooperation to produce a shared result.

we hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast: Brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh pineapple

Good afternoon!

Our friends started their morning by exploring Interstar connectors and the magnetic mix-and-match animal pieces in the front area of our classroom.

We then made our way into the kitchen for a bead, pipe cleaner and pattern card activity. One friend used their fine motor skills to thread the beads through their pipe cleaner and repeated it two more times to make a total of three bead threads!

We brought down the climb & play soft mats for our friends to engage with. We put our gross motor skills to use as we climbed, rolled or sat on the blocks.

We headed outside to get a kickstart on this warm day. We drew with markers at the art table, enjoyed the shade with a friend on the stage, rode teeter-totters with a friend or sibling, explored the water table and dipped paintbrushes in cups of water to paint the chalk-covered stepping stones.

Breakfast: Whole grain Oatmeal squares cereal with fresh cantaloupe slices.

Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with red beans, yellow bell pepper and fresh oranges.

Afternoon Snack: Sunflower seeds and whole grain Wheat Thins crackers.

Good Afternoon!

This morning we added four different shape components to the light table.  Each could be used to make a hexagon when combined.  Arthur enjoyed this activity and found ways to make hexagons out of triangles, diamonds and trapezoids.  He even figured out how to make a hexagon out of a hexagon lined with trapezoids.  The possibilities were vast!

We offered a range of sensory and imaginative play options.  These experiences are valuable for all ages as they help regulate the nervous system, integrate the brain and provide open ended opportunities for imagination, creativity and social development.

Just before heading outside, we danced together, explored instruments, and played music body movement games.  The group followed the prompts and acted out the songs together.

Other friends worked on creative drawings and letter kid spelling.  Over all it was a busy and productive day!

Breakfast– Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh oranges.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat tortilla, fresh pears/banana/cantaloupe, and fresh carrots/green beans/cucumber.

PM snack– Air popped popcorn with butter and raisins.

Good Afternoon!

Several kids in class have been very into mixing different substances experimentally.  We have been trying some different things in response.  Today, we tried mixing baking soda and water to make silver polish.  The kids used tooth brushes to “polish their silver” in housekeeping.  They enjoyed the experimental element of mixing different amounts of water and baking soda, then seeing how it could polish the surface of their cups, bowls and tea pot.

We hope you enjoy some more pictures from our day!

Breakfast– Kix cereal with fresh watermelon/pears.

Lunch– Melted shredded cheese quesadillas on whole wheat tortilla (with optional smashed avocado for dipping), fresh pears/oranges, and fresh cucumber/green beans/carrots.

We started our morning by building with waffle blocks or Magna-Tiles.

Today we explored a sensory painting activity designed for all ages including our new group moving up.  Older kids enjoyed experimenting with mixing different amounts of flour into the paint to make it thick.  Younger kids were engaged with using the paint to finger paint or to paint animals.  Everyone got something that met their developmental level from this activity. 

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

This morning we engaged in the light table with the sensory cylinders and pom-poms. We explored the texture of the pom-poms in our hands and put them into the cylinders and worked on taking them out with our fingers.

We then engaged with dress up accessories and baby dolls.

We headed outside to play. Today we welcomed a new friend to our classroom with a sibling in the preschool classroom, who she was happy to see outside. We played inside the climbing house, worked on our bike riding skills on the balance bikes, engaged in the water table with shovels and containers to scoop the water into, and utilized a watering can to water the flowers.
