The Birch students have been full of energy today! We began our morning by sharing what we had for breakfast and sang a song. The students made choices in the room that consisted of building with loose parts and playing with animals. Another invitation read "How can you create a bird out of these materials?" While creating their birds, the students began to wonder how birds fly with their wings. Ms. Gayle found some old cardboard materials. The students poked holes in the cardboard to attach cloth material around their arms. We went out to the hillside and students took turns "flying" around on the hill. They had so much fun being birds!
Out on the hillside, students played with some building connector toys and practiced walking across the slackline. The kids have improved on their balance and making it further down the slackline. Way to go, friends! We returned inside and read a few books and made more choices before lunch. One of the choices was a group project/challenge. The students had to create an art piece of a bird with the given materials. They were to work together to make one big bird. Great teamwork! Have a great rest of your day!
