Can you believe we have almost finished the first week of school? Time flies when you're having fun! The Birch students played and experimented with a lot of materials this morning! We had some students building car washes and castles with the blocks. A few students drew with chalk while others created cookies, worms, and faces with play-doh. The magnets have been a very popular choice! Several students made machines and rockets and other creative objects!

The class continued their morning by introducing our birthday celebrations activity! Each child has one canvas and the class works together on their classmate's canvas when it is their birthday! So far, we have had two friends have birthdays and one of our friend's birthday is tomorrow! The students worked very hard on drawing their pictures and completing the canvases with watercolors and paint dotters. Make sure to take a look at the birthday canvases which will be displayed in our classroom very shortly!
The Birch class ended their morning by playing outside. While playing on the hillside, some students built with loose parts while others walked the slackline. As our playtime continued outside, some students found two small "baby" frogs under a log! The kids worked very hard to gently catch them in their hands and we put them in a flower pot so we were able to show the rest of our friends. They were SO excited and the students decided to release them to "other forest" (the other side of the fence by the snail). We watched our baby friends hop away and find a few home in the other forest. Will they return to their log? Will we see them again? We sure hope so! Have a great, relaxing weekend!
