The Joy of Play

Image
 Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today, I took a moment to step back and focus on observing the children during their play. Oftentimes as teachers we feel the need to interrupt children while they are playing. While questioning can be a valuable tool, it also can guide children in a different direction than they may have originally planned. By stepping back and letting children be the leaders of their own learning, it allows deep and passionate discoveries to take place through their work. So much learning happens through play and it is wonderful to be able to experience this alongside your children every day. Have a joyful evening!

Capers!

  Good afternoon, families!  We had a wonderful morning capering with our friends from the Maple, Acorn, and Seedling rooms. Friends enjoyed watercolor painting, building castles out of blocks, puzzling, exploring our Small World, and playing with baby dolls. Check out the blogs from Acorn, Seeding, and Maple to see more photos from this morning: https://afcacorn.blogspot.com/ https://afcseedling.blogspot.com/ https://afcmaple.blogspot.com/

Top of the Forest

Image
 Good afternoon, Oak room family! Today we took a walk to the top of the forest since we didn't have any time in our outdoor spaces at school. Before we left, we stopped by to check out the construction happening on our Playscape. Lots of progress has been made already and the students have enjoyed getting to watch the big machines do their jobs. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Construction!

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! The exciting moment has come! The playscape construction is underway! We went on a field trip to watch some of the construction happening from a safe distance. We are so excited to watch the new playscape come together! The children also are continuing their sewing class project with some students clipping the binding on and then sewing some of it on. We continue to have more work to do but it’s coming along! Happy Spring!
