Top of the Forest

 Good afternoon, Oak room family! Today we took a walk to the top of the forest since we didn't have any time in our outdoor spaces at school. Before we left, we stopped by to check out the construction happening on our Playscape. Lots of progress has been made already and the students have enjoyed getting to watch the big machines do their jobs.







Have a terrific Tuesday!

The First Day!

Image
 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!

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!

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!
