Good afternoon and welcome back from the weekend! Only nine more days of school left...can you believe it? The Birch room began our morning by talking about what we did over the weekend. Sounds like several students had sleepovers at Grandparents' houses, how fun! After greeting one another and completing our morning meeting, we began to make choices in the room. At the art table, the students were challenged to draw a picture and label their picture by sounding out the word. Their pictures and ability to sound out words was very impressive! Keep up the good work, Birch! Other friends studied pictures of birds and built their observations with loose parts. Some friends created letters out of light table toys.
After playing in the classroom, we headed for the forest! It was too muddy at the bottom, but that did not stop us from playing at the top! Some friends made "soup" in the mud water and added ingredients, such as leaves, sticks, grass and rocks. Other friends found old bricks and stones and discovered that they could leave secret messages on them by scraping sticks across the surfaces! Tree climbing has become popular and the children are risking going hire on each attempt. A few students left messages for the birds of the forest...maybe next week the birds will respond to their messages!
