Capers

Good morning, Oak Room Family!  Children enjoyed a variety of activities during small capers today.  In Oak Room we offered invitations with small world rainbow stacking blocks, clay, puzzles, drawing and plus-plus construction.  There were many other invitations offered in other classrooms.  Feel free to check out what children did in Maple, Acorn, and Seedling Rooms as well!

















Have a wonderful evening!

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

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!
