A Muddy Forest Friday

 Good afternoon, Oak Room families! We were able to make it to the forest for a short while this morning before the rain came. Children thoroughly enjoyed stomping in muddy puddles and finding bugs throughout the forest. Even though our time was cut short, it was still such a fun morning! Have a wonderful weekend!

The Joy of Play

 Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today, I took a moment to step back and focus on observing the children during their play. Oftentimes as teachers we feel the need to interrupt children while they are playing. While questioning can be a valuable tool, it also can guide children in a different direction than they may have originally planned. By stepping back and letting children be the leaders of their own learning, it allows deep and passionate discoveries to take place through their work. So much learning happens through play and it is wonderful to be able to experience this alongside your children every day. Have a joyful evening!

Capers!

  Good afternoon, families!  We had a wonderful morning capering with our friends from the Maple, Acorn, and Seedling rooms. Friends enjoyed watercolor painting, building castles out of blocks, puzzling, exploring our Small World, and playing with baby dolls.
