AFC MAGNOLIA PM

We got some rain boots on our feet and went on a walk this afternoon. We were on a mission to see the skeletons that are a part of some Halloween decorations at the corner of Jefferson and Swon.  It wasn't raining, but it fun to use umbrellas!  It wasn't long before we made it. We noticed 5 different skeletons hanging in the yard. While we looked friends talked about the skeletons, the other decorations, and their upcoming Halloween. On our way back we found treasure! Window shutters that were up for grabs. On our way back we talked about what we could do with them. Wednesdays are the best for finding treasure.

We walked to the train tracks today to see Steam Engine 844!  Check out the video below! What a way to celebrate Giovanni's birthday today!

This afternoon we went to check on our school's new snail addition to our playground. The construction workers added on concrete! If you look closely you can see an archway at the bottom of the snail where the kids will be able to climb in an out. Some of our friends were hoping they would get to go play in it later today. It won't be done as soon as they are hoping but we love watching the process. 

We began small capers today with purple room.  Capers will occur every Thursday.  It is an opportunity for your child to visit other room and meet new peers as well as teachers.  Each classroom has designated activities for the children to explore and participate in.  Some other spaces were open too such as the playscape and motor room.  New friends came to visit in the Yellow Room as well.  It was so much fun!

The kids were looking beautiful and dapper as ever for pictures today!

Yesterday the children noticed a new activity in the hallway to our bathroom.  Today they were able to open it and work together to build some great marble ramp designs.  The children took turns using marbles and placing pieces together using their fine motor skills. We also helped paint a big box that the morning class began working on. Clay play continues

The children continued their work with clay today.  There were snowmen, popsicles, flat cookies and much more created.  They are doing a great job learning how to shape balls and warm up the clay. This is my mosquito trap! Too bad the trap was cleaned up at the end of the day because there was one on Ms Erin's arm at the end of the day today!   Skeletons are almost complete.  It's so exciting to see how each child interprets their bodies!
