Taking Down Ribbits' House
​and Getting Cozy in "The Cozy Corner" 

(At morning meeting) 
"They can't fit." ​-James

"How about we make a building bigger than the Ribbits', than the one they have, bigger and wider. And the doors have to be as big as wide" -Cate 

Longstanding as it was, we had to make a choice to take apart and unbuild the structure that we have all come to know and love as "The Ribbits' House." During morning meeting the plan was introduced, then Lily commented, "Yeah we don't have room for sing along and we can't build anything else because there isn't any room to build. there" So level by level, as best as we could, Ribbits' house was put away.  "So long, Ribbits' house... So long Ribbits' house. So long Ribbits' house... We're sad to see you go!"

"We're going to DCA." - Tommy
​"Where are the Dodo's on the map?" -Caleb.

"I was on the ladder," -Lily

Out of the rubble from Ribbits' house and with the natural materials leftover from NAEYC, the childrens' boat  gets  decorated. That there was a picture of a boat inside Ribbits' house is interesting, and perhaps it is not too much of a coincidence that the "cozy corner" transforms into a boat during almost every dramatic play scenario so far this year.

Molly and Jessica glaze the plates they made early this year!

We gave a card to Lou Lou to give to her mom, Helen, thanking her for the newest Ribbit, Toadie.
