We started our day navigating an obstacle course. And collecting ideas about what “exercise” is.

Our hopscotch introduced the shape of the day: the square. Some friends counted as they hopped and other friends counted backwards and walked.

We explored how many equal lines make a square and placed Little People inside/outside (Math FAB K.4.3) the squares.

 

Finn, Elliott, Ellie and Max continued yesterday’s project of building a Magna Tile Fire Ship Rocket Ship so high that they had to use stools to raise it up. Laurie thought she would HELP them by getting the stools, but she ended up knocking their creation over ON ACCIDENT. Even teachers can get in the way of great learning moments. They were not pleased. But they rebuilt and created something spectacular. And they forgave her.

 

 

Eve built houses.

 

Sloane and Marta played inside/outside and all around house keeping. They asked Mel if she would pretend to be the Grandma.

 

Leo and Daniel built and rode a choo-choo. They read a book on the ride.

 

Aislinn, Clara and Owen practiced catapulting fuzz balls off a flat surface.

 

Per Literacy FAB K.7.2, Lisa invited friends to “Share information and ideas” about how to write a letter to her daughter, Monica, living in Ghana.

 

Happy Zoi led friends as they marched across the hopscotch to “The Ants Go Marching”

Cassie worked her fingers to the bone peeling the masking tape off yesterday’s painted shape collage.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!! Max and Finn have both started reading Bob Books.

 

Enjoy your day.

Laurie
