Dear We Two Families,
There was a beautiful quiet this morning as the students intentionally and creatively explored all of the provocations. The play dough was adorned with colorful acrylic leaves and pumpkins making for some interesting imprints. We even had trucks getting stuck in the “mud”, needing to be freed by strong little hands. While the rug looked like a tornado had gone through, every item present seemed to have a purpose. The dinosaurs were knocking down tower while the cars were being taken on journeys around the room. Pumpkins were cut open to reveal lots and lots of pumpkin “nuts” or seeds on the inside that were scooped and dumped. Trays of natural treasures including buckeyes, acorns, walnuts, and spiky gum balls invited students to grab with tongs and fill egg cartons. The tongs were definitely the hit of the day! Our Light area wall was covered in multiple shapes of mirrors as rope lighting covered the floors and flashlight beams bounced around the room. Lastly, the Art center provided us with the opportunity for printing using cut vegetables and sponges. The color mixing was top tier as fun fall shapes marked the paper. All of our gross motor movement equipment was put to the test this week as the students worked together to create a fun obstacle course. There was jumping, balancing, and maneuvering happening all at once!
We finished our time together with the story How Big Could Your Pumpkin Grow? by Wendell Minor and a few favorite songs.
I hope you all have a great weekend and see you next week!
Miss Claire
