It’s Indigenous People’s Day! We celebrate the It’s Indigenous People’s Day! We celebrate the cultures, stories, voices, and resilience of indigenous peoples worldwide. We honor their native belonging to lands we all now call home, and we challenge each other to educate ourselves and our children about the multiple points of view involved in “history.” Here is a map of LA and some visuals on the land we live on.

This week we used a bunch of cardboard and packing material and repurposed it to create something new and beautiful. Before you get ready to throw something into the landfill or recycling bin pose this question, “what else can we make with this?” “Can we give this “trash” another life?”Show us what you come up with! #mbns2020 #zerowaste

Natural evolution of a nursery school plan: 1. Aha Natural evolution of a nursery school plan: 1. Aha! Look at these cool materials that are in my project box! 2. Mooom, i need a paintbrush. And a mixer tray. 3. Look! I made paint water!! 4. How busy every day feels. 5. I can also paint myself. 6.-8. What happens when I put odds and ends in the paint water? Sink or float? Fit in a box? What happens if I stick my hand in? 9. What if I paint shells? Rocks? Driftwood? A sand dollar? 10. What happens if I paint shells, stick them in painted water, and put them in the fridge??!!!! #zoomschool #pandemicpreschool #mbns #southbayla #childledplay #letthemplay #letthembelittle #welovethemudpit #whatsyourplan #imavailable #Education #Parenting #Preschoolers #Kids #KidsActivities #EarlyLearning #PreschoolActivities #School #Learning #ECE #PlayfulPreschool #Sensoryplay #playschool #manhattanbeach #playbasedlearning #letkidsplay #southbay #Education #openendedmaterials #kidtalk

Some pictures from the first day back with our bel Some pictures from the first day back with our beloved friends. Here older group kids were invited to try the “Sticky Suncatcher Activity.” Those interested worked with contact paper frames, tissue paper, stickers, cut out shapes, etc. Kids chatted, observed, cared for their “babies,” talked about favorite fruits, requested a cooking plan, and heard a book. So grateful to be back together! #zoomschool #pandemicpreschool #mbns #southbayla #childledplay #letthemplay #letthembelittle #welovethemudpit #whatsyourplan #imavailable #Education #Parenting #Preschoolers #Kids #KidsActivities #EarlyLearning #PreschoolActivities #School #Learning #ECE #PlayfulPreschool #Sensoryplay #playschool #manhattanbeach #playbasedlearning #letkidsplay #southbay #Education #openendedmaterials #kidtalk
