Well, not too much rain, but the ever-shifting weather has left us with some fun and slippery conditions out in the woods. We dove a little deeper into our building and construction study this week, taking a walk around the neighborhood to see what kinds of buildings we could see, and trying out our building skills with a bird feeder challenge.
The winter is one of my favorite times in pre-k because children know our routines so well, and are really starting to know each other so well. The friendships that have developed are beautiful. With that in mind, it's a great time to explore some play dates with other classmates. If you need another copy of our class contact list let me know and I can send another one home.
Enjoy some pictures from the week!
Jumping right back into their imaginative play after a weekend away.
Our circle area was soooo slippery on Monday we decided it was a "crawling only" zone.
A new building challenge: Can you build a squirrel trap like Old Man Fookwire in Those Darn Squirrels?
This tower got so tall we had to get out the step stool.
Bird feeders galore!
We used sculpting materials from our art shelf, along with some peanut butter and bird seed.
So much creativity!
If you drop your child off in the morning have them show you the feeders outside our classroom window. The birds have been visiting a lot!
Peek!
A little crew building a fire. The ice is slowly melting...
After reading a cool book about "houses around the world" this crew got right to work replicating some of the buildings.
With cold weather in the forecast we filled up a LOT of containers with water, and made predictions about what would happen over night.
We prepared a delicious veggie soup on Friday.
The kids gobbled it right up - so delicious! The tiny little star noodles were a big hit.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
