Let's go for a listening walk!

Welcome to the blog! What a great morning it has been for a little outdoor time. We finally got outside today to get some fresh air! We began our morning by sharing what pajamas we wish to wear for tomorrow. We talked about how if our pajamas we plan to wear are dirty and came up with a backup plan and thought about another pair we can wear in case our original plan does work out! After playing in the classroom, we went on a listening/sound walk. The students observed the sounds they heard around the neighborhood, such as cars driving by, birds tweeting in the trees, children talking, and construction happening right down the street! The class stopped to observe the construction men working on a house. We watched them hammer wood onto the roof, saw pieces of wood, and the construction men lift giant pieces of wood up onto the roof! This was very interesting to watch and the students started to think about building a house with the blocks in the classroom.

 

 

After our walk, we played outside with some toys and enjoyed the weather. We returned to the classroom and read one of our We Stories books and did designs with tissue paper and glue. Other friends played with loose parts and built a house out of our classroom blocks! Each student had a "room" in the house and they even built a kitchen! They are so creative! I am looking forward to conferencing with some of you tonight. Please remember that tomorrow is pajama day!
