How will we use the message log?

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family!  We have been reading and discussing the book Dear Bunny in meeting and the students decided that we need a message log for our classroom.  Yesterday at the forest CH found a hollow log for us to use as our classroom message log.  Today the children discussed the log and are divided as to whether the log we found will be big enough to use or if we need to find a different message log.  So, as with all important questions, we voted as to whether we should try to use our log and see if it works or if we should not try to use it and trying out the log won the election.  We have started discussions about how we will use the message log and the children have started to share ideas.  So far they have determined that they can leave messages for each other in the log but they also decided that they need to write the name of who the message is for on the message so that it can get to the correct person.  We will continue ongoing...

Signs of Winter

 Good afternoon and happy Friday, Oak room families! We were so happy to be able to get out in the neighborhood and take a walk this morning. We looked for signs of winter.  C.S. said "there is snow." W.C. said "we wear coats and hats and gloves because it is cold."  X.H. said "when we zip our coats it traps the heat in our body!"  We also continued exploring our lion for Lunar New Year. Although we do not formally celebrate holidays at Ambrose, it is important to expose the children to various cultural importances. The children took turns being the lion by standing inside the puppet, playing the drum to represent the lion's heartbeat, playing other instruments to represent the band, and leading the dragon. We discussed having a parade around the school or the neighborhood on Lunar New Year to help spread knowledge about this special day. Some children got very into drumming :) Have a fabulous weekend!
