Outdoor rink

After all the warm weather we had a ton of water around our adventure playground. But after the cold weather all that water froze which has made some very slippery ice to play on! We spent our morning slipping and sliding on the ice seeing how far we could slide and seeing if we could find any fish living under the ice. For some of us it took all of our balancing skills to stay standing on the ice and for others it was easy for them to stay up and not fall down all the time. But sometimes all the slipping and sliding is what makes it fun!

Cleaning Fish Tanks

Today, March 8, 2016, we cleaned our fish tank and changed it's water. We showed our patience while waiting for our turns and teamwork as we helped each other to carry and wash our tanks.

 

Mrs. Cruz told us that the water in this jug contains a solution that will keep our fish healthy. 

She also told us that we can not drink from this jug because it's only safe for our fish and not for our body.

"We can clean the marbles"

"I will help to put the marbles back in the tank" 

"Okay. Thank you..."

"I will be very careful."

"I can carry this by myself"

"It's my turn now."

"We're rinsing and cleaning the tanks for the fish."

"Can I help you?" "Yes please."

"The fish is swimming."

"I can get the fish and put it back in the tank."

Teatree Tells "Parts of our body"

I

Last Thursday, March 3, 2016, we had our Teatree Tells Class.Mrs. Thiele named our body parts and it included our private areas. She let us point our body parts. We also have learned that our bodies are special and it belongs to us. She explained that it's not okay for someone to touch our private parts but there were exemptions such: 1. going to the doctors and being physically examined with mom and dad in the room and ; being washed by our parents. We also had a chance to color our paper dolls and bring it home.

Fish!

              Today Mrs. Cruz brought us our fish! We were excited to see and name them.

                                       

"Purpley " "That's the mommy"

"Pinky! My favorite color."

"Put it on that one"

"The red fish is swimming"

Our the last one was "Redy"

We set some rules to keep our pet safe and healthy.

Here are some rules we reviewed:

We look with our eyes and not with our hands.

Keep our hands away from the tank.

Showing gentleness by not tapping on our tank.

Toys don't belong in our tank.

Dance Crew

Mrs.Cruz had so much fun today, she was the singer for our band. Lots of children joined her with music instruments, beautiful singing voices, and awesome dance moves.

Fixing the shelf

Some children had the opportunity to use real tools with Mr.Tooshkenig and Mr.Buckley today.
They used their fine motor muscles to hold the screw driver while fixing our library shelf.

This was a good reminder about why shelves are not for climbing on! 

Robots

Today as the teachers came into the room one boy had something special to tell each one of them.
"I am a robot, listen to my robot voice" he said in a robotic voice

Later some children were playing with Lego... One child held up a structure he built.
"Wow that's so tall" I said
"It's a robot" he told me "see?" He said as he pointed to one of the blocks.
