We started our morning by making choices in the room. The choices consisted of two counting games, building with loose parts, and reflecting and drawing a picture of a cardinal bird. After our morning activities, we went to the playscape. Here, we drew with chalk, completed an obstacle course and searched for bugs in the garden! One students brought in a bug container and the students were determined to help fill the container with bugs. The container quickly became a "bug park" for the bugs to visit their friends and play. I would say the students were very successful in reaching their goal!
The students continued to discover rolly pollies in the garden, as well as a few worms. The bugs are still in the bug container and we have been checking on them all day to make sure they are nice and safe. They seem to be alive and well, enjoy their new bug park!
We continued the morning by creating a river in the hallway for the toy animals. Other friends practiced throwing balls and hitting balls into targets. Some friends built in the classroom with our new blocks while other students made books. We read a few stories before lunch and the students are currently taking a nice afternoon snooze on this rainy day. If anyone else has bug containers, feel free to share them with the class!
