Our day started with a yummy breakfast. Our swimmers departed and a quiet morning filled with a continuation of projects began.
Our swimmers know the drill of getting out of the classroom and into the Weehicle. They dress in their outer gear to the extent that they are able, wait patiently for additional help and then gather on the porch and wait for their ride!
This morning, Lisa recognized an opportunity to read Mr. Brown Can Moo-Can You? by Dr. Seuss. They created a cacophony of animal sounds as they waited to leave.
Yesterday, we set out various scraps of wood onto a rectangular felt board. Friends were decidedly interested in figuring out how to piece the wood scraps together and cover the whole board. Then they began coloring the wooden blocks with markers. This work continued today.
After lunch, our older Wee Friends dumped all the blocks into a pile and reconfigured their puzzle, examining and naming the shapes as they pieced it back together.
When we see that our friends have finished their work on it, the puzzle’s final destination (to celebrate the culmination of our Puzzle Study!) will be a 3D work of art!
The Magna Doodle is also holding attention. It is a ‘one friend at a time’ learning tool and friends have done a great job sharing and waiting patiently for their turn.
Macy discovered if you attract two of the magnets, they will spin like a top.
Arleigh drew a treasure map and Ellie joined her to look for hidden treasure.
Tami made Irish Play-Do! We squished, rolled, pounded and sang as we worked with the green dough. Leo filled six cups and counted 1-2-3!
Lunch: Whole grain bread with turkey and melted cheese, peas and pineapple/banana fruit salad. Snack: Craisins and peanuts.
Enjoy your day.
