the greatest thrill seems to be that the friendship wall is taller than the preschoolers.

i heard someone say, “and that isn’t even all our friends!”

i want this (all images from progressive early childhood….i wish i could visit in real life!):

i also want a huge pvc pipe for the kids to roll around in. and huge boulders for the kids to climb on. and a little stream running through the playground.

i am so grateful for what we have. safe equipment, lots of green space, sidewalks for rainy days, big trees…


and for the new rock that will protect while jumping and be loaded in dump trucks.

but seriously, if you are close enough to drop some of this other stuff (logs, tree trunks, slices of tree trunks, tractor tires, an old wooden boat, pvc pipes, a concrete tube…)off on our playground, please do.
thanks for the inspiration and the reminders of what we have.
some dry erase boards erase so nicely.
some do not.

our display cases erase beautifully. here we are using one that aren’t on the wall.



huh, i don’t know what they were all looking at.
we reintroduced the concept of “math sentences” again.

after using real nuts to demonstrate that no matter how you group them, ten nuts will always add up to ten nuts, the children had paper nuts to glue in and/or out of the basket.



for some reason, this one is the “silly” one:

but not quite as silly as when there are no nuts in the basket.
what do you do when your house isn’t big enough and money isn’t an issue? you add on. : )


p.s. i will admit, when i see their little legs on that hard floor, i want another big carpet.
