Self portraits coming to life!

Good afternoon and happy Tuesday! The Birch room began the day by singing our morning songs, and reviewing our classroom agreements and jobs. So far, the classroom jobs have been a huge success and they seem to enjoy their responsibilities. Ask your child about our classroom jobs!

This morning, students built structures with blocks and light table pieces. Some children made patterns with blocks while others worked on a puzzle. The Birch kids are becoming puzzle experts!

We adventured out to the playscape in order to beat the heat! Students were searching for dandelions, flowers and bugs. Some students found a cicada that was relaxing on a log in the rockpit. One student was able to touch it before it flew away into the tree!

We returned inside and completed our self portraits out of loose parts! It was very interesting to experience the variety of ways on how the students identify themselves. Students were able to look in a mirror while completing their projects. Some students added ears, nostrils, eyebrows, lips and teeth and did a good job at identifying their eye and hair color.

"I have short hair. These need to be short."

"What color are my eyes? Do these match?"

 Look for your child's self portrait outside of the Birch class! They will be displayed shortly!
