Building, Music, and Classroom Agreements

The Birch room was busy today playing outside and working our classroom agreements! Some friends loved climbing the wall while others played in the rock pit.


Some friends decided to explore our sound area of the playscape. They walked up and began pouring rocks into one of our sound explorations. Immediately a bright sound came out.

O: "There's so much song!"



E: "We're putting the rocks in here and it's making noise!"


Next they went to the big wooden xylophone to explore. They used their hands to hit the keys and were coming up with their own songs.

O: "This is a letter song!"

E: "I just did the ABCs on the piano!"



Other friends decided to build with the blue blocks. First they made a car. Then one friend accidentally knocked down a piece.

B: "Can we make a better car?"

O: "Yeah! Let's make a monster truck!"

So they gathered blocks and started to build their monster truck.




E: "This is the TV! And let's use this as the engine!"



O: "Let's build an airplane!"

They started figuring out what they needed for their airplane:

B: "We need wings! And an engine!"


E: "Look, we built an airplane!"

B: "Let's fly somewhere! Let's go on a trip!

O: "We should go to CoCo!"

Ms Lacey: "What is CoCo?"

O: "It's the beach!"

So off they went to the beach :)


While playing outside we also had small groups inside writing out and drawing our classroom agreements! We decided on some classroom agreements together:

Hands and feet to yourself

Listen to teachers and friends

Let teachers open doors at school

Find a space to calm down

Keep body safe

Stay where you are in line

Take care of our books

Play with toys safely

Clean up when it's time to clean up






Our friends drew and wrote some great representations based on our classroom agreements! We can't wait to hang them up.
