Found a little #thinker staring a shelf during exploration time. I came to ask her what she was staring at and was quickly shushed! Me: What are they doing? S: They are waiting. Me: What are they waiting for? S: For the nap time to end. ๐ŸŒ™โœจ๐Ÿคญ#justcute #earlyyears

This structure was one of my favorites this year. They loved it so much that they assigned 2 Ss to stand guard during clean up time โ€œto keep safeโ€. Always amazed by how respectful of creations they can be, especially when the idea to save it is theirsโ€ฆ #agency #voice #pyp ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Today, while researching with my preschoolers, I learned that caterpillars turn into liquid inside the chrysalis. They essentially digesting themselves before popping out as a butterflyโ€ฆ ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿฆ‹#themoreyouknow #iteachpreschool #inquirylearning #ilovemyjob

Had a coffee shop bakery going for Feb/Mar and the kiddies made their own salt dough baked goods based on their favorites. We played with these for 2 months straight and today they go home. Just saying: zero plastic and they lasted 40 days of play ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’š#childled #playistheway

So we did the Project Zero CSI #thinkingroutine on the topic of moms. For one kiddoโ€™s image of moms, she drew herself at different phases of life and then explained that she drew that because she always wants to be with mom, even when sheโ€™s old ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ’• #beautifulthinking #ece

Favorite quotes from my kids when we had them guess their moms age for a Motherโ€™s Day project: โ€œSheโ€™s 15 or 50, but I canโ€™t remember which.โ€ โ€œEight, One, 16โ€ โ€œShe is 8,116?โ€ โ€œSi.โ€ โ€œYou know whatโ€™s a big number? 29. Thatโ€™s a big number.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ #HappyMothersDay #ece #iteachpreK
