This morning during sign-in, a group at the art studio table decided it was time for the animals to have
nametags (and symbols, like we have). First we just labeled the animals, and that gave way to more distinct names. '
Bugsy', the gazelle, 'Sweetie Belle' the giraffe, and so on. The same group revisited the table during work time to make little tents and beds for the animals.
Koala Lou listens to a story.
Instead of paper on the table, why not under it?
Jumping cars ...through a ring of fire? This later gave way to a super hero boat. Zachary said "I work for the company superheroes...I can stand in fire
because I AM fire!"
We have a new resident in our classroom--A magic mouse, who, it seems might also like to write messages given the "offerings" the children left for him. We read Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse by Leo Lionni and it gave me the idea to try to sculpt a mouse out of clay with the children. That lead to the secret mouse door...and beyond! Who knows what will be waiting for us when we return on Monday. Some of the children think the mouse may leave us a message, or even build something with blocks. Who knows?
