Still Winter

The Acorns have been doing so well being dropped off in the gym this week! They seem to be enjoying the change of scenery during these winter months. This morning after breakfast, we stayed and hung out for awhile to get some gross motor time. Many friends are being brave and checking out the climbing wall!

Once back in the room, we continued working with shapes-- we have been doing lots with shapes lately. The Acorns have been creating shapes with loose parts and string, and also finding shapes around the room. Friends are even noticing that some of the letters in their names look like shapes! ("My 'O' is a circle!") They are growing so quickly.

We are still loving our pulley system, as well. Everyone is working hard to figure out new ways to fill and dump the bucket. The Acorns have been showing lots of patience in regard to the pulley system-- everyone wants to be the one to hold the rope and pull the bucket, and sometimes it's hard to wait your turn! They are doing great with sharing the coveted bucket.

This brings us to our final story of the day: POPSICLE! The Acorns created the funniest game, which usually takes place after nap, but happened this morning instead. While gathered on the carpet, friends take turns standing on the logs, jumping off, and shouting "POPSICLE!!!" We have no idea how this started, but they find it very entertaining! They certainly keep us laughing all day. 

Have a great evening!
