House

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family!  Last Friday the Oak Room moved around the room a bit to make space for some new cooking play equipment since the children have become very interested in cooking.  Today the children had a large class discussion and decided that instead of getting out "restaurant" or "babies" or "school", etc. they wanted to combine all of it into a large dramatic play area that they children voted on and chose the name "House" for that part of the room.  After deciding a couple things that House was missing and needed (pets - for which the children agreed could be fish and snails, and beds - for which the children have brought 4 mats to the space to use) we have begun discussions about how we can best use the space and how we can turn it into a house.  This work will continue and we are currently having ongoing discussions about how to use the space.

Lunar New Year

 Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today we celebrated Lunar New Year by doing a lion parade around the school. Students took turns being the lion, the heartbeat, and the band as we paraded throughout the classrooms. Many were so happy and surprised to be visited by the lion! Have a terrific evening!

Turnip Stew!

Image
Good afternoon, Oak room families! The children were all so excited to make our turnip stew this morning. The children all took turns chopping A LOT of vegetables (turnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots). They added them all to the pot and it got so full! The progression of our pot...        We took one last look at our stew, and then in to the Instant Pot it went! Then it was time to make our corn muffins to go with the stew. The children took turns preparing the batter and mixing.  While we were waiting for our stew to cool, some children were curious to try raw turnip. Some loved it, others not so much! It was finally time to feast! Have a great afternoon!
