Wednesday November 7th 2012

Although we had a lot of children absent today, our school was super busy!

In the pine room, the children were playing restaurant in the kitchen where you had to order behind the sink and pay, then go sit down and wait for your food to come out. The children love using money, credit cards, and check books. We had our last day of the fire station and the farmers market and a doctors office was added in its place. The office includes a waiting room with a front desk and then when you get into the doctors office, there is a table for babies and chairs for sick children. We are excited to see what the children come up with so we can add more to it with their ideas.

In the maple room the usual building and train play was going on. The box was voted on to be a castle so some of the children were making sketches of how they could make it into a castle.

In the oak room, the children continued to work on the natural items collage. It's coming together beautifully and the children are working very hard on it. Play-doh was added back on the texture table and the children enjoy manipulating it any way they want. The clay wheels have been open too to make clay pots which have been really great.

In the walnut room the marble mazes are still a big hit! The hammering nails into a pumpkin activity was fun for the children too as well as sifting through the bird seed. Children were also busy making pictures, stamping stamps, and sending mail at the writing center.

Outside on the art cart, the children started hanging their bird feeders on the trees! They tied them with pipe cleaners on Monday so they were excited to hang them today!

Hope everyone is enjoying their week!
