Birch Room is so excited that it is Friday! Our whole class is back together and they were ready to celebrate.
Even though it is very cold today, we were able to sneak out for 5 minutes and play in the snow! Children noticed right away that the snow looked funny.
J - "This snow is weird"
Miss Brooke - "How is it weird to you?"
M - "It looks like salt kind of. The big kind"
Miss Brooke - "I think it looks interesting, the snowflakes are little balls"
B - "Look! They get together really quick"
E - "Yeah its like a giant snowball now!"
In small groups, children ventured into a different hallway to explore some new materials. These are materials that we do not use often in a place we have never played in. We were able to use our environment as the third teacher in this way: providing the opportunity for a unique perspective.
Meanwhile, in our classroom children were exploring
T - "On no! The big wave is coming"
O - "We need our shields"
R - "I have one right here!"
T - "The hammerhead's house is ruined. We have to rebuild it quick"
O - "Here, let's use these for his house"
T - "I don't know if this will make it when the wave comes" "Oh no, here it comes!!!"
O - "Ahh!!!!"
T - "Everything is ruined!!! The hammerhead didn't make it!!!"
J - "I'm drawing my mommy" "I'm making a shortcut"
