We ended the first half of summer with a bang! Firework bangs ! 🎆 We made some 4th of July art and watched Disney’s Fireworks Spectacular while we had popcorn!
We enjoyed lots of water table play on the patio!
And for our last day we got to Hoop it up and have a hot dog lunch!
We had such a fun time hanging out this first session and can’t wait to enjoy the second half of summer with those that are returning. Enjoy your long weekend and Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
This week has been warm and bright and sunny. Here are some of the things we did in the bright sunshine 🌞!
On Wednesday we had chapel with Mr. Tim.
And we had morning meeting with Ms. Audra where we sang songs and said a prayer for our day!
Today we watched Jake and the Neverland Pirates and had popcorn 🍿 ! It was a great end to a good week.
Happy Summer from Ms. Kristen on the Older Pod Patio! Check out some of our friends from Rooms 1, 2, and 3 as they explore primary colors.
What a gray and misty week 🌧️. But even with all of that we still had so much fun! Here are a few pictures of some of the fun.
We saw an awesome Mad Science show and we got to participate! Yay science 👨🏽🔬 👩🏻🔬
We had some pizza for lunch to celebrate a birthday and it was delicious 🤤🍕
And we ended our Friday playing with roly-poly’s and a little bit of 🌞 sunshine!
It has been a fun couple of weeks here in Room 3 and we have done so many awesome things together. Here are a few pictures of what has happened so far. ..
We had school wide chapel with Mr. Tim.
Summer has been a blast so far and we look forward to what happens next.
What a fun filled artsy year of creativity and exploration!
This past month our friends played a life-size version of the children’s board game, Snail’s Pace Race on the Patio with Ms. Kristen.
Why are “games” and “play” such a vital part of early childhood education? Nothing answers that question better than seeing the range of skills being developed in such fun and practical ways as this.
While we play we are developing social emotional skills–engaging in cooperative play, delegating roles, taking turns, regulating our own emotions, developing self-confidence and laying the groundwork for character development and sportsmanship. This fun and engaging game also increases our attention span as we pay attention to each role of the color cube. One-to-one correspondence is one of the most challenging early math foundations and this is a way to reinforce the concept visually and pragmatically.
We celebrated all of our extraordinary children through a fun week filled with dress up days and special activities. Enjoy!
Older Pod has been enjoying a Trader Joe’s dramatic play area on The Patio with Ms. Kristen!
As we play, we learn to share space, take turns with materials, delegate roles, and collaborate with our peers. Dramatic play is vital in the development of creativity through the use of imagination. Most evidently, this particular dramatic play is helping us develop communication skills and teamwork. We are also gaining knowledge of the world around us— learning fruits and vegetables, increasing phonological awareness through print, practicing exchanging money for goods, assigning numerical values to things, and counting.
Check out our friends hard at work!
THANK YOU to the many families who contributed recycled goods and THANK YOU to our favorite local grocery store—Trader Joe’s!
We’ve had a fun and eventful week in Room 3! The children enjoyed Easter art projects, Bible stories, and chapel. We even found some bunnies up in the loft!
One of our families was able to come in and do a fun cooking project with the class. We learned how to make rice balls and ate them all, yum!
Pizza party! 🍕
Since it’s finally starting to feel like Spring, we got to enjoy lots of outside time, including a picnic snack and a special music and movement activity.
Last but not least, our Easter chapel!
