Creating Flags

This morning in circle the question of the day was, "Where have you seen flags?" Some of the answers were on buildings, by schools, on ships, Puerto Rico, on golf courses, and several other locations. We then talked about what was important to us and what we might want to put on a flag of our own. Some had more traditional answers like stars and stripes while others said they wanted butterflies and super heroes.

Bag Opening Day

Since Wednesday was so jam-packed, we decided to move bag opening day to Thursday. They had fun sorting them various ways. One group thought we should sort them by shiny and old dirty stuff. Another group said they should be grouped by color. The third group chose to sort them in three groups which were circles, wooden or natural materials, and plastic.

Clay Museum

Mr. David discussed animals in circle. They took a closer look at colors the animals were and then went to the tables to create their own. Some of the animals included a scary snake, a girl butterfly, a skunk, a seal, a green kitty and many more. They then compiled all of their creations to make a clay museum.

Visit to the Family Tree

On Wednesday, some of the students wanted to go visit our adopted tree. They referred to it as our family tree. They had fun collecting acorn tops and running around for a while.

Indoor Tent

Zachary and Tyson decided to work with Ms. Catherine during worktime. They decided to create a tent in the block area using their blankets and big blocks. They were having quite a good time if you couldn't tell from the smiles on their faces.

Library

A lot of the children have shown an interest in checking books out from the library so we have decided that every Wednesday we will take a trip over to Hugh Stephens Library on campus. We will walk over in the morning for our literacy groups around 9 a.m. Also, with the beautiful weather what a wonderful excuse to take a stroll outside :)

Flags, Flags, Everywhere!

We have been taking a closer look at flags. Today we discussed different kinds of flags, what they are for, and the different colors that are used. Everyone shared their favorite color and we talked about how the flag they were creating would represent them if they used a lot of that color.

Beautiful Stuff Countdown

Just a friendly reminder that we will have our bag opening day for beautiful stuff on Wednesday! I know everyone is excited for all of the new items. Thank you for all of the great things that have already been brought in.
