Yesterday the Wee Friends classroom got a brand new set of UNO cards. Today we asked the question: what should we do with the old tattered and faded deck?

Let’s make art!

One of the great things about emergent curriculum is the ability to utilize a variety of materials when the opportunity arises. We set up paper, glue and the old UNO cards and then let the Wee Frienders create! Throughout this process, conversation flowed around the colors and numbers on the cards, with friends trading with each other to get the specific cards they wanted for their work.

You never know where children’s creativity will take them. Owen made a sun with the yellow UNO cards with wild cards in the middle and was very proud of his work:

In large group today we began discussing family and answered the question: What does family mean to you? Over the next few days we will be talking about different types of families and figuring out similarities/differences between our own families. If you have a family photo to bring in it would be helpful; we can add it to our family wall!

Stay cool in this heat and have a great night. –Jessica
