AFC MAGNOLIA PM

 Today we continued working on our small world.  We began working on some details and design. B:   This would be a terrific house for fairies.  But fairies only come out at night. J: I'm making a dirt house. We also began individual drip paintings since it was such a hit on Monday.  The children did such a great job taking turns and sharing the paint colors. At meeting we practiced drawing Mat Man together.  Wow!  They did such an amazing job.

 Pirate adventures continue in the forest! I'm walking the plank! What's that you see? E and J started to collect buried treasure which somehow transformed into eggs.  Not just any old egg, RATTLESNAKE eggs!  J made a pile of eggs for E and then built a nest around it.  The eggs stayed close to the pirate ship for care. Do see the hearts of the forest?  

 Today we worked together on a collaborative building art piece for our secretary Ms Liz.  We are giving this to her as a gift.  Shh!  It's a surprise.  The children loved watching the paint roll down the canvas.  Others preferred to use the droppers as paintbrushes.  It was great fine motor practice.   We broke ground today on our small world site.  The kids helped make a brick paver so that we can keep the dirt from spilling out on the sidewalk.  They did a great job working as team to lay the bricks and removed extra dirt.  We also had to fill in the gaps with dirt.  More bricks will be laid soon. Happy Birthday Blake!  Have fun with your cousins tonight eating cake!
