aloha

A few Kindergarteners and I.....
thought it would be fun to draw pictures on note cards and leave them in other children's cubbies.
Spreading good vibes, anonymously..... <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

so I screaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamed and then shut the door on them.

Chalk Paint




One of my favorite paint mediums is chalk painting. I like seeing the different colors in the streaks <3

Recycled fun


Kids really enjoyed this one. I like how it's not too easy, because it takes a little patience to get the magnet fully 'hooked' onto the paperclip. (This is using one of those weaker sticker magnets)


of course it looks better when colored!



The original puck we used (the yogurt lid) was too light and would often fly up in the air mid game. We eventually used a heavier circle block which glided along the board more smoothly. To mark the goals we put colored tape on the edges of the board. The bigger the whiteboard, the more fun! (I think)

Yay for free fun times!

and so it begins..


marble painting, a classic no fail and always fun!

It's that time of year again! New incoming preschoolers with their eager faces and their colorful cartoon backpacks they love to show off. Some are daring, adventurous... must try everything. Some are taken aback by their new environment, not quite sure what to think yet!

A new routine to get used to, new friends to play with! Here we goooo......
