Let The Games Begin!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the 4 hour class blog!!


Here are some pictures from our first week of class:


Name tags (and pictures) were painted.




We had our first circle time.


And played with lots of different toys! 

 Grilling food in the camping area

Matching, pegs, shapes and sorting 

Blocks 

 Magnets

Logs

Ella and Mayu drew some pictures 

Adam loved looking at the magazines!
I heard him tell Ella: "I'm not really reading, I'm just looking at the pictures"


We spent lots of time outside!

At the playground

Weston did the fire pole 

Justin on the spiral slide 

In the sandbox





And we went on our first field trip to Terra Nova!
The teachers were all very impressed at how well
everyone was listening and staying together! 


Checking out the stove near the sharing garden 

Checking out the new playground equipment 

 Going down the slide

Playing with leaves

And walking...

...we did quite a bit of walking.  The children were tough and carried their own bags as they built their leg muscles! We were all pretty tired by the time we got back to the bus!


Thanks for a wonderful first week,

Nicole

MWF 4 Hour Class When I’m writing a documentation, one of the hardest things for me is to decide what pictures, stories and reflections I’ll share with you. There are so many joyful, meaningful moments and every day’s learning experiences!

Some of the benefit of connecting children with nature include: supporting creativity and problem solving, increasing physical activity, reducing stress, promoting social emotional development. We see children as innate scientists, artists, builders… full of wonders and curiosity they can nourish and experiment while they are playing in nature.
