Good Afternoon!

We started our morning exploring an interest of one of our older peers when he stated, “I really like those magnets up there…”. We talked about asking a question such as, “Can we use those magnets?”. A teacher went to the basement to gather more materials to explore this interest. Most children chose to use the magnet wand to see how many magnets they could pick up at one time.

At the art table, several children explored stencils including shape and letter stencils. Later, several children asked to do a bead bracelet. One of our kiddos eagerly said, “I’m only using Argentina colors!”.

We wrapped up the morning by taking over the building rug as we built the foam floor letter puzzle. Four boys worked together to put the puzzle together. A few friends grabbed the first letter of their name so that they could put that letter into the puzzle. We noticed that a few of the letters are very similar such as M and W as well as N and Z.

Happy Monday!

We had such a great day back at school after our summer break! Friends spent the morning checking in and getting reacquainted with their peers.

Interest in gluing occurred right after breakfast was cleaned up. Children eagerly got out trays and the glue bottles. This is a great fine motor activity where children are asked to control the amount of glue used at one time to some extent Smile.

Elsewhere in the classroom, a group gathered back in habitrail where they moved their bodies and once they were done, they engaged in a pretend play experience where they created a car for their play! As they were driving, one friend shouted, “Pull over. We’re here. I need to go to work!”.

Our graduating kids continued help prepare as they helped make vegan double chocolate chip cookies for tomorrows celebration.  The kids said they were going to be “hot chocolate” cookies because they smelled like hot chocolate.

Kids enjoyed spending the morning outside!  We offered a “pounded chalk drawing” activity at the outdoor art center this morning.  Kids used black paper and hammers to smash the chalk and create images.  Kids noticed they were accumulating a lot of chalk dust.  They asked about making paint, which they really enjoyed doing before.  Each child collected their chalk dust when they were done, then mixed it with water to make chalk paint.  Lots of kids chose to paint their name or write letters.  Others were curious about painting objects like rocks and leaves.  All these ideas were great for their developing creative thinking skills.
