A discussion about places in the "Big City"

We revisited our work that we started before spring break. We have shared with you some drawings of places why places in Webster Groves are special to us. We offered a book as a provocation filled with places in St. Louis. As soon as we opened it, we discovered a map and began to look up some places that are found in St. Louis. 


Some of the conversation can be seen below:
"I go to the Botanical Gardens, there are lots of trees there."- LG
Busch Stadium: "They play baseball, there is Fredbird, and you eat things too." - CS
Scottrade Center: "They also play hockey. I was at the very top."-PW
"There is an organ there." - RJ
City Museum: "The school bus is on top of the museum." - JE
"My dad and brother went on the bridge." - PW
The Science Center: "They have stars up on the roof."- CS
Omnimax: "I saw one about animals and whale sharks."- 

We will continue these conversations and begin representing these ideas using the language of paint. 

Some areas in the classroom have changed and one of the children made the following observation:

"We can find more worlds on this." -CG
