A Morning Meeting for Sharing Models Thank you so much to all of the parents who joined us at morning meeting today! It was so wonderful to have you all and to see the wonderful models you shared. We discovered a few things: 1. Models can be made before or after the "real" thing is created (e.g. Adaline's drawing/cardboard and foam model came before the real building, but Lillian's 3D printed White House model came after the real building). 2. Models can help you decide to change things. 3. Models are made out of a lot of different materials: Plastic, metal, cardboard, foam, glue, and more. We would love to hear any thoughts your child may share about this fantastic morning meeting of conversation and research. "My daddy put the rope swing there." - Georgia, 4.3 years
At a recent staff meeting, we shared some thoughts on drawing with the children -- confronting challenges, making mistakes, keeping it fun, and more. One of the suggestions was to play "Pictionary". As you will remember, the children loved our other drawing game, so we were hopeful that they would love this new game. We decided to start "Pictionary" by having all of them drawing together, each drawing their own version of one idea that we gave them. We were sure to give a "clue" that they all had in common and could, in theory, see in their mind! We have done the whole group twice, and each time it was joyful and so much fun! **You can take a close look at the drawings in the classroom -- they are hanging on our "Holding Board" just above the sign in! ** Clue #1 - Toad Clue #2 - Molly Clue #3 - Cappuccino (Elyse's Cat) Clue #4 - Jen
Clue #5: Bicycle (Melanie's Symbol!)
