Building Outside

Happy Wednesday Birch Room! We began our morning by exploring a new book about bridges.  We talked about the BEAUTIFUL pictures we saw in our book.  We discussed what the bridge was going over, what the bridge was made of, who uses the bridge and where in world the bridge was located.  We also worked on identifying numerals and counting out the right number of blocks.

 

We wanted to get outside before the rain so we did just that!  A group of kiddos took their love of building outside with us.  They began collecting logs, stumps, rocks and pieces of plants to create a snake house.  The spice (pieces of plan) with tell the snake to come in.

 

"This is a BIG house"

"Look what we rolled over here! It took us like 16 minutes!"

They also added a few bug friends, rolly pollies, a grasshopper and a slug to their snake house. 

We ended our day with splitting into smaller groups.  Some children worked on a birthday canvas for a friend who has a birthday coming up. Others explored more color mixing with eye droppers.  We also had Nurse Ann help with our hearing screening.  Ask your child if they heard the little birdies in their ears.  They all did a great job!
