This week we read Bear Snores On, a snowy story for this chilly weather. “It’s snowy!” said Amari as we began the tale of a sleepy bear hibernating in a cave. The Afternoon Class enjoyed seeing which noisy animals entered the cave before the bear finally awoke.
Outdoors, Zoe led a fun activity where children moved through a “ring of fire“ (a hula hoop!).
Indoors, friends explored a tabletop of egg cartons, which they painted with a new color each day. It was a challenge to find which grooves held more paint for us to spread with paintbrushes.
We also saw some interesting independent and collaborative play emerge in our block area — some friends drove trains into our unit block area, and used arches to make a long tunnel. Eli and James worked together to move the trains without knocking over the arches, and Amari used a long wooden block to make his own train track.
We also switched out our dress-up materials, and friends enjoyed practicing dressing themselves in new stretchy skirts, wings, and mermaid tails, often all layered on top of each other! Henry turned the wings into a “cloak.” Here are some more photos from our week together. We hope you all have a great weekend!
