2 weeks outside - day 3

We thought that it was supposed to rain in the morning, but lucky for us, it didn't.  We were able to enjoy the cooler temperature without having to worry about over heating.  I brought out some paper and traced the children that wanted and they were able to colour "themselves" in.

Art Creativity Outdoors

   

       During our first week of outdoor week we tried out our creativity.

    On Tuesday June 14th we painted with mud. We enjoyed pushing 

    the mud all over our papers with our paintbrushes.

  

         On Thursday June 16th we painted with nature brushes. The

    brushes had different kind of leaves on them and were tied to

    sticks. It was fun to see the different designs each brush would

    make.

2 weeks outside - day 1

What a great day we had to start our first day outside. The weather was wonderful and the children enjoyed spending extra time to play outside.

Working together

While using patience, cooperation, determination and perseverance these two children were able to work together to build a tower with the wedgits.

Monkey bars

The children have been strengthening their arms by practicing their skills on the monkey bars.  It has been great to see the determination that they have had over the past few months to try and accomplish getting from one side to the other.  They are so proud of themselves.

A new skill being tried.

Down to Their Level

Recently Mrs Rodrigues came into the large muscle room while Mrs Friesen and I were in there, and asked me " Mr Castell... Why is it that every time I come in here, you're on the ground?" To my reply "cmon...I'm getting down go their level!" I'm usually the one in our room that gets treated as a jungle gym, and I have no problem with it. The kids have fun and are working their muscles by climbing, holding, and balancing onto me. We always make sure we're cautious and if things seem to be getting out of control, I'll shut it down. 

Lucky for me, the next time we went to large muscle we had both groups (older and younger) and I got to juggle them all... Here they are taking control... Haha

The only breather I get is when playing dead...

Taco time!

"Helpppp meeeee Mrs.Friesen!"
