Indoor Fun!!

 We were lucky enough to have PAT visit the room today!! There are beginning to complete the screening process for the Acorn Room.  PAT will be contacting each set of parents to complete your portion.  After it is complete you may make an appointment with them to discuss the screening.

Birds in the Birdhouse

The cold weather kept the Acorns inside this morning. We weren’t the only ones spending time inside. Two birds took turns going into one of our birdhouses outside our window. We love looking at and learning about nature even when we need to stay inside. 

Acorns got to choose from several activities inside besides bird watching. We built new creations with magnetic cubes or floats and straws. We drew with dry erase markers and tried to cut paper with scissors. We also explored different sensory materials.

Happy Friday!

 We were very busy today, it was obviously too cold for us to venture outside, so we explored indoors.  We read a new book about Recycling and how to make our world a better place. We clapped it out, talked about the first letter (R) and the sound it makes.  We then discussed items that can be recycled.

We had the crosswalk projected

Kinetic sand

Sensory Table

Water Bins

Dry Erase Boards

Magic Sand Table

Old Phones and the Tree house.  We hope it warms up soon......

Happy New Year

 It was wonderful to see all the smiling faces this morning!  Everyone was very excited to be back and very talkative. We added some NEW routines to our daily routine.  Our expectations are increasing because it is the New Year! 

While we were doing morning potty time, one of the new activities is to come work on spelling your name with scrabble letters.  We will alternate this with writing our names in a few weeks, and also counting and matching numbers with items. Stay tuned to the blog when we move on to writing our letters!

Risk

Create an environment that is safe but has appropriate challenges. 

Risk is a vital component of children's play. It allows children to be challenged, to face uncertainty, to problem solve, to work with others to find a solution, and to think outside the box.  All of the qualities serve to extend children's cognitive, physical, and social-emotional abilities.
