Happy New Year! This week we had a great time exploring our new classroom setup and materials.
Outdoors, we continued playing with big cardboard boxes and even decided to cut windows into some of them. We saw this inspire peek-a-boo games and other fun social connections. We also added more milkcrates to our yard, which children stacked, pushed, and crawled into.
Indoors, we practiced building (and knocking down) magnatiles. Friends built tall towers, cars, and homes for the small animal figures we had available. We also had some joyful music and movement time on the rug, during which children chose instruments they wanted to explore, picking from a selection that included tambourines, a drum, rhythm sticks, agogos, and shakers.
Our book this week was Snow Day, which describes how a town clears the roads after a snowstorm. The children loved finding details such as snow-covered branches and snow plows.
Here are some photos from our week, we hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
