AFC MAGNOLIA PM

We've been really excited to work with cars and ramps! We brought in ramps to put on our magnet wall and watched what the kids would make! We also made tracks for trains and cars! We talked about what to do with the box that we got last week. We voted on what to make it and the kids decided to made it a house! We then voted on what color to make the house! We'll keep you updated on what happens next! One friend made pictures for each of the choices for the box. From top to bottom he drew a rocket, a house and a robot. We'll put that with our chart shown above!

Today we painted our new birthday board. The children used forks to make designs.  Jamieson brought a watermelon from his garden to share with us at snack. 

Several friends have been asking about our Box  City from last year. We decided at meeting today that we would go for a walk to Lempcke's to see what we could find. And guess what add its way back to the yellow room?  As we were getting ready to carry the box back, a big truck stopped for a delivery. The kids loved watching the driver unload the dishwasher to the store. Tomorrow we will discuss some plans for our box and in the meantime they are just enjoying climbing, opening, closing, hiding, and talking with friends. 

Today we worked hard cleaning the mud kitchen with the purple room.  The children showed a sense of responsibility and pride in cleaning our shed. Caring for our spaces is an important role every teacher and child has at our school.  We also drew pictures and shared them with our friends.  Two friends played a game of catch with pine cones!

Today at meeting we talked about our yellow room birthday celebration gifts. The children decided they wanted to make necklaces. When it's your child's birthday he/she will be able to choose a necklace from the birthday board. Kendall recently celebrated her birthday so she is our first friend to take one home. The children took their time carefully selecting beads and working so hard to string them on the wire. 

We decided that today would be the perfect day for a walk. We walked up the street to the bird sanctuary and had fun running and climbing!!!

We got the paints out today! The trains were a big attraction too! There's always time for being a little silly! Who doesn't love an end of the day dance party!

Our returning kiddos from last year were really excited to show our new friends the motor room! When we got in there were even more excited to see the new wind tunnels!!!
