Winter Walk

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family!  Although it is still chilly out it was warm enough for a winter walk where we enjoyed playing at the top of the forest.  The children were delighted to play in a different outdoor setting and their imaginations found inspiration all around them.  Some of the children chose to build a treehouse in the collaboratory while other children took the opportunity to make their stuffies some clothes.  It has been a very cheerful and active morning in Oak Room!











These friends designed their rendition of Jack and Annie's tree house and which included a maze.

We love our tree house!
AV is pretending to be a frozen statue.
BW, GL and NN made a restaurant for the tree house.
We have a delivery for you.
JM is designing a really cool spinner.

CC makes a rainbow pad to go along with the spinner.
These friends are sending messages to their Moms.
Look at all these holes in this rock.  I think a woodpecker put them there.

After our winter walk the friends asked for a dance party and, of course, we obliged!

Have an amazing day!

Lunar New Year

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! The children have been learning about lunar new year and after the children helped repair Ms Lena’s lion last week we were able to do a lion dance as a class today.  The children listened to their own heartbeats while calm and after jumping around and then used instruments to act as the lion’s heartbeat fast and slow for different feelings of the lion. Today is the first day of Lunar New Year and the beginning of the year of the wood snake. We also enjoyed small capers today and practiced a fire drill.  We wish you a healthy and prosperous new year and hope that like the snake you can shed and leave behind that which you don’t want to bring with you into the new year!

Self Portrait Work & Another Guest Reader

Image
Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today some children had the opportunity to work on their self portrait paintings. It is amazing to see the amount of growth in the children's detailed work since we first did this project in the Fall! We are excited to put our pictures on these pieces and get them displayed soon. We also had another fabulous guest reader this morning! G.B.'s mom came and read a few stories to the class. Thank you so much for visiting, Ms. Kylie! Friends had some fun in the gym this morning, too. It's hard to be stuck inside during these rainy Spring days, but we are making the most of our indoor spaces. It was a fantastic morning! Have a wonderful evening!
