A day of play

 

Yesterday we spent our meeting time talking about ways we can remember our kindnesses.  
"Put it on the blog."
"Draw a picture and write your name so you can know that's your kindness."
"How 'bout we think of it in our brains?"
"We can dream of it."
"You can give your gems special names for the kindness on paper to remember.  Put it below the kindness stick or attach it to the bench with tape."

Today your teachers expanded on one of your ideas and asked you

"I made these loving and kind hearts." RM


"This is my sharing" JI                          "I'm playing with my sister." CG


"Hearts mean kindness." LB


Yesterday a group of friends made playdough.  We were very excited to create stories about bees today.


After quite a bit of trial and error, your teachers created a new aspect of our play.  We projected onto the table top as you played.





These friends found a big black ant outside and initially had it in a pot.  After observing him for some time they began creating this amazing structure.
"The ant is inside!  We made this for the ant!!!"
They created a world of fun for the ant friend.



They even covered the crack in the side so the any wouldn't escape!


Our friends are noticing ants everywhere and are appreciating them as an amazing living thing to observe.




"We're on an airplane.  This is the lunch and the snacks." 



It was a great day of play!
