Pod B

Hello Everyone!

Even though the weather was not the best today, we made the best of it in Pod B. Our morning started out with some children going into the large movement room for rough and tumble play. Here children have the opportunity to wrestle with their peers if they wish. Some children also made fruit salsa with Mrs. Kauppi where they cut different fruit and combined them in a big bowl which they will have the opportunity to eat later this week. 


Even though it was dreary and a little wet this morning, some children walked to the green house with Mrs. Potter to pick up some flowers. The children will be planting these flowers. As the morning continued, some children explored the music instruments out in the hallway and also worked building new structures, completing puzzles, and other activities. The children are still exploring the corn and the crystals that are in the Pine room and enjoy pouring and measuring them. 
Carson Mota built a nice monster today that hugged a building Liam built.
Even though we were not able to walk very far for our picnic today we were still able to have lunch outside underneath the walkway of the building. The children said it was a little cold, but enjoyed their lunches. After lunch because of the rain we took a walk inside of the building instead of playing on the playground. The children enjoy going upstairs and looking out the windows so they can see "the whole city." After lunch we sang some songs together in the Pine room and finished out the day by playing "Red Light, Green Light." 

I look forward to future days in the classroom and continuing the opportunity to explore with the children.
