Celebration!

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family!  This morning was an exceptionally busy day!  We are celebrating 2 birthdays today with a dress up day, dance party and popsicles!  The Bristol Bravos came to Ambrose and gave a concert so festive it pulled the dancing and cheer right out of us!  We said goodbye to a member of Oak Room today and while sad to see them go we are happy for their next adventure and did our best to send them off with all of our love.  Students have been working on thank you paintings for our beloved school cooks and were excited to present their work today.  Sharing meals together is such a central part of our day and we can always feel the love and care put into those meals.  We are truly fortunate.  Students discussed the start of winter this week and in celebration made sensory snow, created snow inspired play doh art, planned an arctic castle which required snow that children made from fabric, as well as winter and celebratory drawings.  Such a festive morning!

The First Day!

 Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! It was an exciting first day of meeting new friends and reconnecting with old friends.  The children started the process of creating classroom agreements and that process will continue over several meetings until we have a final set of classroom agreements.  We spent time playing in the Oak Room, we toured the school building and had a great time outside this morning.  This has been a fantastic beginning of school! Have a great day!

Developing Routines

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family!  The children are quickly catching on to our routines and transitions and are enjoying predicting what comes next.  They also continued the discussion today about classroom agreements.  Yesterday they focused mainly on creating agreements to have safe bodies (not hitting, punching, kicking, biting, scratching, etc. were some of their ideas yesterday) and today they moved into some other areas like adding that we should walk in line instead of run, we should ask for toys rather than take them from each other and ask for the toy after a friend is finished if they are still wanting to use it.  We will continue discussions about how we can treat each other kindly and be safe at school and will continue developing our classroom agreements.  It can be more meaningful for children to be discussing and developing these agreements themselves rather than having a list of rules dictated to them.  At Ambrose it is our intention to suppo...

Capers!

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! This morning we had small capers which is when we open up the classrooms in our part of the building and children can move freely between the rooms engaging in the invitations in their own or other classrooms.  This is an opportunity for children to meet and over time get to know the other children in our wing of the school.  It also gives the children a chance to share with other students what they are working on in their classroom as well as learn what other children are doing in their classroom.  It is a way to expand our classroom community as well as share and grow the children's ideas.  We capered this morning with Maple Room, Acorn Room and Seedling Room and if you would like to see the blogs from those classrooms for today you can view them at the following: afcmaple.blogspot.com afcacorn.blogspot.com afcseedling.blogspot.com Have a wonderful day!
