Happy Monday!

We are still keeping busy at school and had a few new activities today!

In the Pine room the children were pretending with the babies.  Car seats were added this week so the children are really enjoying acting like moms and dads carrying around their babies in their safe car seats. The flashlights were focused in a new way today! The children were looking for monsters with the flashlights!

The Maple room was as busy as always with trains and lots of building.  The children are really starting to bring all of the activities of the room together by including wooden blocks, the magnetic shapes, the train tracks, and the animals all together.  There were a few structures built today that included many of these. 

The hallway was a pretty relaxed today with a few children playing with the house, playing with the gorillas, and experimenting with the musical instruments.  It was awesome to see some of the children get really excited over the tuning forks! When held to correct way and gently held up to your ear, you can hear a quiet tone.  They loved to listen to it and get it to ring for their friends. 

 The Walnut room was a huge hit today! Shaving cream was added to the sensory tables! The kids went crazy over it and it was so fun to watch, even if it wasn’t so fun cleaning it up :) Mrs. Gursky was doing color mixing today! Mixing blue, green, yellow, and red was fun for the children to predict what the color outcome was going to be!

In the Oak room we made play-doh again! This time we added pumpkin spice to the mix to make it smell like pumpkin! At the light table we were painting with pumpkins and leaves.  At the collage table, ribbon was added! The children loved to pick their own piece of ribbon and cut it to size.  Some of the children came out with ribbon bracelets and bow ties!

Hope Everyone Has A Great Week!
