Remi's Dad Teaches Soccer Skills During Small Capers

The children were so excited to have Remi's dad visit today. He is a professional soccer coach who came in to teach them soccer skills. They learned that it is more important to keep the ball close than to kick it away. There were a lot of smiles and determination as the time went on. Today was an awesome day!!

Celebrating a friend's birthday!

    Some friends helped design a castle in honor of Grace's birthday today and also made

    her a birthday card.

Making our List of Jet Parts

"This is really hard work." - Grace

    A small group of children went to the Atelier to take some machines apart. Before we started,

    We discussed some of the tools we saw when we arrived. 

    Wrench: turns wheels and helps get things off

    Hammer: puts nails down

    Screwdriver: To take screws in and out (one is flat that we call pointy, one is bigger that is circlie) 

    Measurer: how long, wide, or tall something is, you can also count

   

            Observations:

         "It weighs 15." - Charlotte 

         "It's too tight in there." - Colman 

         "Mr. Johnny uses these tools." - Grace

         "Why do none of these have batteries except standing ones?" - Billy

         "Look at all the wires in there!" 

         "Use strong muscles." - Colman
