Work Together Wednesday

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! We are continuing our celebration of Week Of the Young Child and today's theme was Work Together Wednesday.  We also celebrated CS's birthday today with a chosen celebration that could not have been more appropriate for a working together celebration.  Each child sewed a piece of the rainbow on CS's rainbow costume making it a whole class project.  It has been wonderful watching all of the creative ideas that children have for birthday celebrations and how joyful they are to celebrate each other.  At long last the children were lucky enough to have storms this morning keeping us inside so we could make the volcanoes they have been planning for quite some time.  Children worked together in many other ways today building in the classroom and collaboratory.  They create so much joy in our space everyday working together and building beautiful friendships.
























We did an experiment making volcanos.
EO - Volcanos are something like a big mountain that has lava in it.
JB - Volcanos are big hills that lava heats up in and then it explodes.
EO - It's gonna make a boom sound when it explodes.
JB - It's going to erupt.
RN - It's not gonna make a sound.


The volcano experiment was super exciting!


These friends make a boat house with fishing rods.

GNF - I made a food boat for the boat house and robots that take food to the people.

These friends worked together on making a castle with a garage for JM's train.





Have a collaborative 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

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!
