Oh what a rainy day

Rain or shine we love to play outside! We had a great morning playing in the rain, splashing in the puddles, and watching the construction work that was going on. 

 The rain made everything very slippery and hard to climb. Some of the children figured out other ways to help them climb up the tires. They got a smaller tire and stood on that to help them climb onto the bigger tires. 

 The rain did not stop the construction workers from doing their jobs either. Some of the children watched the bobcat work and move dirt and gravel around. Some of them were very excited to see the bobcat working and watched most of the time they were outside! 

Some of the children wanted to stay dry so they coloured some pictures under the carport we have set up in the adventure playground. 

We had a great rainy morning outside!

Construction

With the Adventure Playground all fenced off from the construction it is safe for us to play and we are so lucky to have such a great view at the work being done.

Today we watched a Bobcat moving pallets, some workers moving bricks and an excavator digging where our mud pit used to be. Everyone was very curious about what was going on.

"Where's the mud pit?"
"What are they doing?"
"Mrs.Thiele that's the excavator, he's digging"
"Oh! Where's he going? Come on!"

Lady Bug Park

I'm Because of all the construction in the back it was not safe for us to play there, so Mrs.Cruz had the great idea to take us to the park!

Some children opened up an Ice Cream shop...

"I have lots of flavours... Vanilla.... Chocolate.... 4 flavours of chocolate!"

"I'm riding in my ladybug to get to the ice cream really fast!"

"Spin me faster!"

And then we took a much needed break from the sun by drawing in the shade.

We then enjoyed a nice drink of water and a energy boosting muffin before walking back to the centre. What a nice morning.

May Day

We are so thankful to be able to spend so much time outside in this beautiful weather. Here's what we did around the Adventure playground this morning...

We have new crates outside to use for building. Here we built a staircase with a spot to jump off at the end. We noticed the crates were a little wobbly so we remembered to show caution as we climbed.

This game was throw the ball over the hill, then go under the hill to retrieve it. Even though we didn't follow the ball we found out it exactly where we thought it would be... Right on the other side of the hill!

"I'm fixing it"

Here we found spiders and ants with Mrs.Crew, we chose to watch but not touch the bugs. We wanted to see what they were up to.

One child decided she needed a stool to stand on at the big tires, another child suggested using a tire. This was a great idea but we needed to use team work to get the tire from one spot to another.

"We can do it!"

"1,2,3, GO!" 

"Look how I get across!" 

"There's treasure in here! I can't reach it."

"Let's use this"

These two found sticks of different widths and lengths trying to retrieve the treasure inside.

And some more cute moments...

"See what I found?"

Our outdoor morning

We started our day outside at 7:30am this morning. That meant lots of time to play! Here's a look at some things we did.

A game of monkey in the middle! 

Climbing up high on the tires.

Preparing lunch with chalk pieces, sticks, and other bits of things we can find.

Feeling the sand with our toes, and hiding them underneath. 

Ring around the big wooden spool, can't catch me! 

And don't forget watching the planes go by!

Have a great weekend!

Yay Spring

You can tell we're excited about spring when it's all we can think, talk, and even draw about!
Here is a picture one child drew:

"Sometimes I draw the grass yellow cause that's what color it is... That's the smoke it brings the smell of cookies all the way over to the other house!" 

Bouncy bridge

"If you ever want to hear a gaggle of giggles all you need is a bouncy bridge, a group of children, and an enthusiastic teacher that can jump up and down real fast.

All together "1... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5, JUMP!"

Thanks for being so much fun Mr. Freeman!
