What a rainy day it has been, but that doesn't stop the Birch friends on having fun at school! There was a lot of discussion about the storms last night and how the thunder was so loud! Some students shared how their dogs were really scared and how they had to take care of them last night. Sounds like a busy night for some kiddos!
The students made choices in the room that consisted of building with blocks and designing at the light table. Some students made letters and shapes out of popsicle sticks while others made a habitat for toy animals and insects. A group of students practiced creating self-portraits and used a mirror to study their faces. They are getting very good at choosing their skin color and adding more detail to their pictures. Way to go, friends!
Some friends went to the collaboratory to exercise and build with the blocks. Other students played counting games in the classroom and number sorting with cards! The counting game consisted of identifying the given number and counting out the desired number. During this counting time, one student found a worm near the back door leading out to the hillside! We scooped up the worm and put him in a bowl for the students to observe. After all of the excitement, we let the worm free and placed him back in his home on the hillside.
As the morning continued, Ms. Gayle played some literacy games with a group of children. Other friends built with loose parts on the carpet and created a forest! We danced to some "gonoodle" before lunch and the students may be in a pasta coma from their lunch. They were really hungry today! What a great rainy afternoon for a little snooze. Enjoy the rest of your day!
