We 

Creating Solutions!

Image
We were busy solving how to keep our cherry trees standing up in our city. We tried many differ the theories such as filling a bucket with paper, using rocks, and using blocks. It was a great sight to see the children working together to come up with a solution.  We had a Mystery Reader today.  Sydney's mom came and read some really fun books. One was all about mixing up colors. We wonder if the children will want to mix up colors in Yellow Room.  Thanks for reading today!

Busy day

Image
The children really enjoyed the sunshine this afternoon.  They ran and played on the hillside. Inside the classroom we worked together on solving puzzles.  We worked on the trees today.  We are trying to figure out a way to keep them standing up since they keep falling on our friends.  Mylo built this amazing skyscraper!

Happy Birthday Wesley and Jamieson!

We had a busy day!  We hung our sky, painted some more sky, and also made cherry trees. 

Fun day of frolic!

Image
We frolicked with the purple room today! The kids love getting to experience different spaces in the building with different friends! We opened the motor room to experience how a train looks while in motion! The kids want to build a train and steaks to go with it, it was very exciting!

Thanks so much to Matilda's mom, Amie, for reading is some wonderful books!

Our sky

Image
The kids wanted our city to have a sky. After talking about it they decided that the sky should be different shades of blue! We decided to use paint to create all the shades we needed! We set it up for a small group to paint and then everyone wanted to paint!!!!

Walking around our city.

Image
The kids wanted to walk around our city to get new ideas for our box city. Before we walked the kids started talking about making clouds, a sky, birds, street signs amd new buildings. On our walk we saw... (The kids took the pictures) A stop sign  A school A restaurant A mailbox A jewelry store The bank We'll see what we're going to make next...

Frolicking

We love frolicking in the afternoon! It is really wonderful to see the children explore new spaces and begin wondering about new topics! Ms. Kathleen was here! Our friends from last year were really excited to see her! We finally made it outside!!! 

Where's Waldo?

Image
The children continued their letter search today. At meeting, they found letters and then shared where they found them.  Then they placed them on the Alphabet Tree aka Ms Erin. It was quite silly!  The interest in the Where's Waldo? book continues. A friend suggested that we make our own Waldo's to find. We talked about the size of Waldo and what we could use to make him. A small group of children went right to work and began drawing their pictures of Waldo.  It was exciting to see the interest and pride they each took in heir drawings.
