Today Melinda invited friends to continue charting “What works best for making noodle necklaces?” as the kids continued creating necklaces.

Tami led a flag study, using the many books in our library basket as research material.  The older kids voted on the color of our future classroom pirate flag. The exploration led to a conversation of US state flags. The kids looked at flags for each of the 50 states and discussed the various designs. Mississippi was the favorite and they laughed just listening to the pronunciation!

Our pirate improvisation with costumes and music continues in the truck and hopscotch rooms. Many interesting stories are being created.

Both groups enjoyed tumbling with Miss Patti.
