New Play Area Best When Filled With Kids!!!

So the new sandbox & the camping cabin was a big success! My students had a great time pretending to cook, roast marshmellows & set the table for dinner.

New Additions to the Play Ground!

Just wanted to share a few more pictures of our updated playground. Mr. John (AKA:Hubby)did an awsome job putting our camping cabin together &  building our sandbox. A big thank you to LET THE CHILDREN PLAY BLOG for the wonderful fire pit idea's and inspiration!!! We added some "marshmellows" for roasting too!!

GREEN BUCKET RIGHT HAND STATION

Upon arriving at school the parents help their child find their name (name recognition) hanging above the hook so that backpacks & jackets can be hung on their special hook. Shoes are removed to keep our floors dry & clean as we live in the Pacific Northwest & it rains so often. Hands are sanitized (practicing good hygiene) & student chooses if he/she wants the letter of the week written on the RIGHT hand, a fun rubber bracelet or a slap band bracelet to be placed on the RIGHT wrist which will help us learn social skills by smiling, greeting one another with a hand shake & we will know which hand to put over our heart for the Pledge of Allegiance to honor our wonderful country.
