Flying Friday

Hello Birch families! Our morning soared by as we traced friends as birds. Loose Parts invited students to make a classroom nest and create birds.

The art table offered students the opportunity to explore stamping with unusual tools. On the carpet, an animal kingdom arose complete with a wooden enclosure. We read three books today, The Gruffalo, Duck on a Truck and Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs. The students are very interested in adding to the conversations, noticing similarities and differences in related stories. They also look to see how the characters are feeling and predicting what might occur next.

 We took advantage of the mild weather by spending time on the Playscape. A train ride was enjoyed in boxes AND on the slide. What a fabulous morning we spent together!
