The Birthday Committee Interviews FordThe birthday committee began by interviewing Ford during morning meeting to learn a bit more about him. Ford’s favorite things Color: Dark Blue Food: Chicken Adobe Thing to play with: Transformers Place to Go: The smoothie place by Volta Park for strawberry banana smoothies The First Day of Birthday Committee Work Prepared with this knowledge, the birthday committee sat down to a table of clay and decided to make one of Ford's favorite things for his birthday gift. Thus began our online research into Transformers by googling images to inform our work. There was debate between Win and Cal about which transformer to make, but the ultimate decision was one that Ford had mentioned may times before as his favorite, Optimus Prime. Cal: We have to make it big. We have to make big clay. We make it big, big, big, We have to make his stomach first and we have to cut it (the clay) a little bit. Cal and Win set about forming the parts of Optimus Prime by cutting small pieces of clay using the wire and then rolling them into coils to make his appendages. Cal: It’s another leg. I'm just going to go get more here (pulling a small piece of clay from a larger chunk). Here’s his stomach. Win rolled a coil of clay and then cut it in half lengthwise using the wire, "I cut it like this." Cal: We need a bigger leg. Win: There his legs. Cal: Okay, I make 2 arms. As Cal rolled clay into a ball, he described it, "That’s a boulder." Win cut small pieces of clay and pressed them onto the front of the “Transformer.” Cal looked at the photograph of Optimus Prime and then back to the clay transformer: “He still not make yet. We need 2 belts and 2 exhaust.”    The Second Day of Birthday Committee WorkOn the second day, we applied underglaze to the creation in its "greenware" phase before it had been fired in the kiln. Cal and Win looked at the photo of Optimus Prime and decided which colors they would use. Cal got to work with the blue and Win worked with the red. Cal: We have to put that (the glaze) on there. It's going to make colors and then it is going to dry. Win pointed to the transformer photograph and then to the clay sculpture that she had help create and proudly declared, "I made that!" Cal used the turquoise blue underglaze and described his process, "Up there, there, there. Okay, I get some blue in my jar. Yeah, now we can paint blue." As Win glazed the “transformer” with dark red, she carefully looked for spots that had not yet been glazed and made sure that she hadn't missed any. When she was satisfied that she had glazed the clay creation entirely, she proudly declared “All the spaces."    Celebrating Ford with his Friends and FamilyWe celebrated Ford in the classroom with a birthday treat of cupcakes and clementines. Then Ford's mom and dad, Jess and Wes joined us for a celebration in Blake Hall. They shared three of Ford's favorite stories. The first, Go, Wahoo, Go was about the University of Virginia where Wes went to school. Wes sang the school's fight song for us as part of the story. They also shared Field Trip to the Moon and Birthday Monsters. The celebration concluded with Ford's friends singing "If It's Your Birthday and You Know It," and Ford circling the birthday candle table 4 times to celebrate his 4 turns around the sun.      Throughout the year, the children have explored the language of clay. Ford’s birthday gift is an example of a material (clay) becoming a language. The birthday committee learned about their friend and created a gift using the material to express their thoughts and feelings for their friend. Clay however is a delicate material. The process requires multiple steps. The clay was prepared for use. The gift was made using a variety of techniques, including pinching and coiling. Underglaze was used to color the "transformer." Clear glaze was applied. When these steps were completed, "Optimus Prime" was ready to be fired in the kiln. The children have learned that the kiln is not a forgiving tool. Sometimes, creations go in and they don’t come out as anticipated. Things may crack or even explode! Unfortunately this was the case with Ford's gift. When we opened the kiln, we found that his gift had not survived. Ford was presented with his gift, a framed photograph of the clay creation (pre-kiln) and when Ford opened it, he gleefully shouted, "Optimus (Prime)!"

A Tradition at St. John'sEach September, the St. John's community welcomes a new cohort of children and their families to our school. In the spring prior, the new families are welcomed at the New Parent Reception (NPR), which includes a time of getting to know one another and a materials experience. At tonight's NPR, families will work with clay to make gifts for the children to use in the Outdoor Classroom's mud kitchen. The families will also receive a collection of welcome messages that the current children have made for them. In the Brown Room, we've been working diligently on these messages. Folding Paper and Making MessagesOn the first day, the children worked with friends from the Tucker Room and made messages from folded paper. One technique that they learned was how to fold paper accordion-style, which was described by Bailee's sister CC as "like making steps." Siblings, Win and Maxon had a chance to work together during the shared experience. It provided an opportunity for Ramsey to work with his older sister Nora as well. Nora: I can help you Ramsey. Do you want to accordion fold or roll? Ramsey: Accordion. I made a monster. As the children worked on their paper messages, they talked about welcoming the new children and what they knew about them: We’re making new messages for new Brown Room friends. -Mimi I know Christopher. He’s my neighbor. -Ford       Creating Plaster Collage Messages After a day of paper messages, the children had an opportunity to work with a material that they have really enjoyed this year: Plaster! First they had to don their dust masks and mix the plaster and then they were presented with a variety of tiny materials to create tiny plaster collage messages.       Mimi made an observation, "It’s like milky. Do we have to mix it? " Seon looked at the plaster dust on her hands: "Because my hands is white, because this is all white." Charlton touched some plaster that was drying and commented on its warmth observed, "It's like a grey desert." Catching Up With Mystery Readers in the Brown RoomFor our last two mystery readers, we were thrilled to have Ford's Grammy and Grandpa and Ragnar's sister Dagny and mom Gillian visit the Brown Room. Portfolio Conferences Start Next Week!If you haven't had a chance to sign up for a portfolio conference with your child, please take a moment to view the sign-up genius for available slots. Thank you!
Treasures for Rainey RoomFor those who came to classroom stories, you saw the story of meeting with our dinosaur experts and digging for dinosaur bones and eggs in the sand. When we reflected on what the children enjoyed most about meeting our dino experts (Hugh and Wilder from Rainey Room) there was clearly excitement for the process of digging up bones. While making thank you notes for the Rainey Room Ellie recounted about digging in the sandbox and finding bones. We added some more books about dinosaur/ prehistoric fossils to the classroom, and the excitement really took off. Ramsey and Seon particularly enjoyed the fossil book (featured in the middle) and paged through it several times together. After one instance of looking through it, Seon walked over to her portfolio drawer, pulled out on of her plaster collages and declared "fossil!" Supported by our excitement about digging for treasures and our capacity for recognizing material techniques as an avenue for language and expression, we embarked on our most recent expedition: building and burying objects for Rainey Room. Using a variety of materials and colorful foil, the children had a chance to create their own special treasures for Rainey Room. Today's blog highlights some of the creation process and burying the products in the sand today!
(Above) Seon explores her plaster as a type of fossil (Right) the treasures before wrapping On May 2, we invited children into the atelier to wrap materials for Rainey Room. Children made choices about objects, foil size and careful creasing while working on their treasures. 
Brown Room writes the letter and buries the treasures! With the treasures done, it was time to prepare to bury them for Rainey Room! Our preparation included counting up all of our treasures (33 in total!) and writing a letter to Rainey Room so they knew what to look for. Louisa was particularly excited about the letter and offered all kinds of suggestions for how to unearth the treasures and where to store them when they were done. Ellie, Louisa and Fay count the treasures. Elena: How could Rainey Room find the treasures in the sand? Louisa: They can move sand and move sand. Elena: How could they move the sand? Are there any materials they might need? Louisa: No they don't need, they move the sand with their hands. Fay: A shovel? Louisa: Maybe they can get a shovel and dig, dig, dig. Maybe they can dig with their shoes? Elena: What should they do when they see a treasure? Louisa: Um they should pick it up. Elena: What happens when they pick up the treasure? Louisa: Um they play? Fay: unwrap them! Louisa: Yeah! Ellie: You play with it! Louisa: Oh I got an idea, you can keep them outside. Elena: Where would you keep them outside? Louisa: You can keep them on the sidewalk! Elena: Is there a sidewalk on the outdoor classroom? Louisa: No Elena: Is there somewhere at the outdoor classroom we could keep them? Louisa: Oooh! On the slide! Once our letter was written, it was time to add our symbols and some decorative materials to make our message really pop! Fay and Louisa worked hard to ensure that everyone's symbol was represented and Win joined us in the studio after to add her favorite materials to the letter.
Fay: I'm doing Ramsey now. See the crab? Louisa: What's next? Oh, I want the whale! Fay: This one is Ragnar's. It's a sand dollar. I want to do more of my symbol. Lot's of umbrellas.  When we went outside after snack, everyone had a chance to bury a couple of treasures. Cal was particularly excited to dig the holes and offered to help friends "really hide the treasures". 
 Rainey Room discovers the treasures!After we left for the day, Rainey Room had a chance to read our letter and dig up the treasures. They were thrilled at each new discovery, and by the end of the day there were only six treasures left to find! Check out the images and videos below of Rainey Room's discoveries below!
 Getting to Know Win!When the birthday committee interviewed Win we learned a bit more about her. We already knew that Win had an older brother Maxon, in Tucker Room, but on this day, we also learned that Win's favorite color was pink and that her favorite animal was a "piggie!" The Birthday Committee Gets to Work!
 When folding the paper, the members of the birthday committee took inspiration from the vase of flowers alongside the paper that was to be folded. Fay: It (the paper) has pink, so we could put it on. Ellie: This look like the same color (picking up a piece of pink scrapbook paper with the same pattern as the first one she had folded). Is very, very, very color-y. Fay: They are pink so we can give them to win. It’s a little soft right here (touching the rose petals). Ellie: This looks like a hershey kisses (describing the rose flowers). It looks like a plant. It has water and these (pointing to the leaves). It is shiny.  Fay: I need to wrap a corner and put this one here and fold and fold. I make another one (laying the tissue paper flat over the scrapbook paper). I make a boat. I bent both the sides. I made them because I love boats. Ellie narrated her process as she folded scrapbook paper and then tucked tissue paper inside the fold, "I pushed it down and rolled it." Fay took a piece of tissue paper and crumpled it. Then she stuck the tissue paper inside of the folded scrapbook paper and commented, "I made a pretend gift for Win. I need glue to make it stick." Fay had been on Ellie's birthday committee in October and had also made "pretend gifts" by wrapping mosaic tiles in cellophane.
At the end of the first day of birthday committee work, we had two very distinct types of folding: individual pieces of scrapbook paper and "pretend gifts" which were pieces of tissue paper crumpled and then folded inside of scrapbook paper. Collaging "Pretend Gifts" for WinIsabelle and Emma joined the birthday committee on the second day. Karen: Yesterday, Ellie and Fay made these “pretend presents” by folding paper for Win’s birthday gift. Today, we’re going to collage their “pretend presents” onto this frame. Emma picked up a piece of folded paper and asked, “Fay do this?” Next, she picked up a glue brush and carefully chose a spot on the frame to apply the glue and pressed the paper into it the glue. Emma: This one is going to stick properly. Stick. Really good job, that was a really good job. Isabelle: Just one in the middle. I need to get some glue. Emma dragged her glue brush on the edge of the jar: I get the extra glue off. Isabelle: I’m going to get some more (glue). Emma: Just a little bit (of glue). Isabelle: Where this one go? This go right here. This one go right here. This last one there. Emma: Paper. Isabelle: That sticks in there. Emma: There some more space here (pointing to an empty corner of the frame). Emma stroked the glue brush on the edge of the frame: I just smooth this out. This glue. This is a big one. Here. This is a tiny one. It has a spot right here! Isabelle picked up some yet to be folded pieces of scrapbook paper: I fold it. I do all of these. Emma: This are all of it!    Win's Birthday CelebrationWin's mom Rory, dad John and big brother Maxon joined us in Blake Hall for her Birthday Celebration, which began with a reading of Sleeping Beauty. After her Brown Room friends sang their birthday song for Win, she walked around the birthday candle 3 times to signify her 3 turns around the sun, accompanied by Maxon. We concluded Win's celebration with a tasty homemade peanut butter and chocolate treat.      Win's Birthday Gift: Folded paper and "pretend presents."
 Day One
Ellie, Seon and Louisa all worked collaboratively to mix and achieve a red color to use on the hoop. Ellie: Good painting, Seon Louisa: Ah! the red, it's getting there (off the paper) Ellie: I'm painting inside the hoop. Ah there's paint on my arm!
Day 2
 Day 3 Seeing Ford and Ellie's interest in stringing larger materials on the wire, I (Elena) decided to offer beautifully painted pieces of paper in addition to materials to hang on the mobile. We asked the children to mix some colors of red for Bailee, and we ended up with four distinct shades ranging from a pale pink to a deep, brick red. The children then worked on painting and collaging the strips as additions to the gift.
Day 4 On the fourth day, children collaged the painted strips and added it to the mobile. Ford was particularly focused on hanging his strips, and spent a lot of time pulling the string through the wire until he felt it was at the appropriate length to be tied. 
Bailee and her sister Emory on the day of the celebration with the gift!  It is a tradition in the spring at St. John’s for the children to make welcome messages for the new children that will be joining our community next school year. The children of the Brown Room will be carrying on this tradition making folded paper messages in the coming weeks. To prepare for this project, we introduced the children to paper folding at the light table using tissue paper. The tissue paper, when illuminated by the light table was an intriguing provocation.    Ramsey: I gonna do blue. This one or this shape. It’s a square. Ramsey placed his finger in the middle of the piece of tissue and folded it in from the corner. He first folded a triangle, then a square and lastly a rectangle. Ramsey enthusiastically returned to the light table on the second day to add to his collection of shapes which he had folded the day before, "I fold it like a rectangle, both rectangles. Orange rectangles and I did a red rectangle."
   Win was excited to join Mimi at the light table, where she exclaimed, "I wanna do that. Fold it down," as she began folding her first piece of tissue paper. In all, Win folded three pieces of tissue; green then purple then red. With each piece, her folds became more complex. Win smoothed down the crease that she had made in the red tissue. Then she opened her piece of tissue and closed it again, "I make it big. I make it small." Charlton: I folded it like a train track. Long like a train track. I like orange better now. I folded it. It’s a train track. It’s a blue fire truck. It’s a jet fighter. On the second day of the paper folding provocation, Charlton carefully chose his tissue paper, "I choose dark blue." as he continued with her work from the previous day, "These are fighter jets. " The folding of the tissue paper was a challenge for our fine motor skills as well. As the children explored the tissue paper and the folding process, they became more confident and were able to describe the steps. As the children gained more confidence, they were able to teach their friends. Charlton: You don’t crumple. Charlton then showed Rawls and Cal how to fold the paper. Rawls: I trying to fold! I fold it this time. I crushed it (the first time) and I did it again. Look at my house!
What a beautiful day for a backwards day. Even with collage and clay provocations available to them, Brown Room spent most of the morning doing large scale construction in the sandbox. These materials have recently peaked Brown Room's interest and they really reveled in the additional outdoor time to build with them. While they built a boat last week, this week the materials became a zoo and a forest for all the many animals outside.
Using a twisting and pushing method, Louisa and Ellie figured out how to stick the bamboo rods in the sand, creating a forest for the animals. After seeing this design, Charlton declared "It's like a cage!" and insisted that the he place the tiger in it.
the progression of part of the zoo including the "wall/ trees" that Ellie and Louisa built. Much like the large construction materials, the bikes were all of a sudden a popular choice today too. Seon started the trend, and once the children saw her pedaling up and down the brick they were quickly interested in the same.   Movie Description: Emma walks over to Seon, gives her a big hug and declares "We are best friends!" Big thanks to our Mystery Readers this week: Fay's Mimi and Emma's Jamma. Mimi shared 10 Little Monkeys, The Hungry Caterpillar and Everybody In the Red Brick Building, and Jamma shared Fluffy and Baron and a story about sharks in Hawaii! Its been so wonderful having family members of all ages join us during snack!
 Have a wonderful weekend!!
A few weeks ago, we invited "dinosaur experts" from Rainey Room to join us for a Q&A session in the outdoor classroom. We've been thinking about ways that we could say thank you to our experts and today, we started working on some of our thank you gifts. With each group, we started with the prompt, what could we make to say thank you to the Rainey Room dinosaur experts? Karen: Today, we are going to be using clay. What do you notice about the clay that we’re using today? Ellie: It’s different, because it’s different. Ramsey: It’s brown. Ellie: It’s brown and silky. Ramsey: It’s even cold. It’s some little ones (looking at the big block of clay and the smaller chunks next to it). Ragnar touched the clay and wondered, "Why is this not dry yet?"    Ford pounded the clay flat then rolled it out even more, "Hot dog!" Next he flattened the "hot dog" and then grabbed small pieces of clay from the large block and added it to his flattened piece. Ford explained, "It’s a nest for the dinosaurs."    Working with clay in the studio gives us a chance to work cooperatively with our friends. Louisa: I make a worm. I make another worm. I make another worm. I made a big worm. I make another snake. Louisa began counting her snakes, touching each as she did: 1, 2, 3, 4,....6, 7, 8. And I make another snake. Emma: I make a snake. Louisa: I'm still making snakes. I want to make alot! I making snakes. Emma: I make a lizard, too. Karen: Emma, would you like to move over here where there is more room? Emma: I’m using this space here. Louisa: I’m making a ball for the snake. (Louisa rolled a ball out of the clay). Emma: I’m making a pink snake. Emma handed Louisa some clay: We are switching (trading)! Emma picked up one of Louisa “snakes” and added it to the pile of clay in front of her. Louisa noticed and matter of factly commented: I don't care, I can make another snake. Emma: I’m making a dinosaur birthday cake. Karen: How old is the dinosaur going to be, Emma? Emma: A baby. Emma picked up a new block of clay from the smaller table and brought it to Ford: I just picked some new clay up for you (Ford). As they worked alongside each other in the studio, Louisa and Ellie broke into song with the tune of "Here We Go Digging for Dinosaur Bones," which we had sung during morning meeting. Rawls entered the studio and pulled some small pieces of clay from a bigger block on the table. Rawls: Them for Charlton and Ford. I did some for Charlton and Ford. We also have a chance to learn from our friends while we're working in the studio. As Rawls looked at the “snakes” that Louisa had made, he began to roll his own coils. He looked back at Louisa’s “snakes" and commented, “Those the same as mine.” Rawls: I make 2…2…snakes out of metal and 2…2 snakes out of plastic. Isabelle and Seon entered the studio and worked together to bring a large chunk of clay to the studio table. Seon rolled a ball of clay: Look. A ball. Then she flattened it with her hand bit by bit: Smaller, smaller, smaller.         Footprints in the ClayAs the children worked with clay, we continued to talk about how we were going to make some gifts for our friends in Rainey Room. For their "Rainey Room gifts" Charlton, Ford and Ramsey all chose to make "dinosaur footprints."
Ramsey: I’m going to make a walkway. To our house because our walkway has some bricks. Ramsey began to poke his finger into his clay piece: Look at my footprint. A T-rex. These are all the footprints. Charlton: I’m making dinosaur footprints. Can I get a dinosaur from dinosaur world? Charlton went to the dinosaur shelf and brought back a T-rex. Ford: I'm making more dinosaur footprints. Corrugated Cardboard Collages Continued
Corrugated Cardboard Collages- say that 10 times fast! The latest in our exploration of collages, this provocation challenged children with small materials and limited, linear space. We observed the different ways each child approached the glue, the cardboard, and the collaging materials. For more information on the beginning of this studio experience check out yesterdays blog :)
Seon and Ellie were first in the studio. They each decided to add one glue dot and one material at a time. Seon persisted with this technique, and Ellie later opted for larger glue dots, using the paper clip as a guide when she added materials (as seen in the middle photo above). Emma chose an entirely different technique, squeezing the glue over the cardboard, and watching it pour into the valleys between the raised lines. She then chose to add a variety of red materials, carefully pushing them into the lined spaces. Seon: I did it. Look its a heart. There's so much different colors! Ellie: These, I want these shells Seon picks up the painted shells: Oooh it's pretty. It's beach shells. Ellie: I need some more glue. Seon adds fabric flowers to her design and steps back to look at it: It's amazing, it's amazing. Ellie: I added more shells. Seon: It's so cool!  Isabelle and Mimi were next to join. Again, both girls were very intentional adding one glue dot and one material at a time. Isabelle was particularly interested in small leather strips that she flanked with colorful beads on both sides, whereas Mimi opted for translucent materials and shells for her second time with this provocation. Emma squeezing glue: Oooh it's like mustard. Im sticking it and I will stick this on and oooh. It's an easter egg to put on it. It's so pretty! Isabelle: My mom's favorite is easter eggs. Emma: Oooh look at this, it's a snowflake. We have the same glue. This (material) is so goldeny. It's like a little nose. I'm hiding treasures in my hands. Isabelle: Is it for your mom and dad? Mimi: No, its for my Marte. Louisa found a lot of joy in lining up the metallic materials. She began by gluing small dots that she filled with the oblong beads, but when she got to the second line, she decided to flood the area with glue and almost submerge the beads as she went. Louisa's collage can be seen in the top left of the photo below. Check out the above video where she explains her process!  Weaving with Traditional Looms
Ellie: I need to weave this. Ellie tucked the ribbon into the loom. Win: Under. Under. Under. Bailee: Green. Bailee pick up the gold ribbon. Ellie: No, that not green. Ellie began looking through the materials for weaving: I use this -terial, this -terial, -terial. Them feel. Feel in my hands.
Fay: This (green ribbon) is too little. What about this tall one? Bailee: That's like a snake. I want to try the yellow one. Fay: I want to try the green again. My mom's favorite color is turquoise and green. Look I already did this superfast.
Video 1- Bailee and Fay explore the weaving techniques alongside each other.
Video 2- Ford verbalizes some of his weaving processes and expresses joy and excitement when the piece stays together even when turned upside down!  Since the beginning of the year, the Brown Room children have worked on a variety of collages. They have collaged using glue sticks in the message center and liquid glue and with brushes in the studio. They have used a variety of materials in the collages, ranging from materials with warm and cool color palettes to using both natural and man-made items. This week, we tried a new technique, using glue bottles and corrugated cardboard pieces to create "linear collages." It was interesting to see how each child approached the task in their own unique way. We began our studio experiences with “linear collage” by asking the children to share their thoughts with the prompt, “What is a collage?" Fay: Putting things on and using glue to make them stick. Ford: On the birthday committee for Bailee (her gift included collaging materials). Ragnar: Where we put glue on top of it so it can stick better. Cal: A collage is how you make things into plaster and it goes dry (referring to the plaster collages made previously). Ramsey used the small metal pieces (with teeth) and pushed them into the cardboard at first instead of using the glue. Ramsey made a long line of glue in one of the “valleys.” Ramsey described how the glue fell into the valley of the corrugated cardboard: It’s so easier because it goes so long. After placing some more materials, Ramsey used the paper clip "tool" to position some of his materials. Win placed glue dots of glue in the individual "valleys" on her cardboard. Once she was satisfied with the dots, she began to place her materials.
The variety of materials also led to some interesting conversations as the group worked on their linear collages: Ramsey reached for the silver “tacks” and dropped a handful on the cardboard. He then picked up a small dyed seashell. Ramsey: Look at this shell. It’s a little… Bailee: Maybe it’s a pinching crab. Mimi: There are sharks in the water. Ramsey: There’s no sharks, only if they’re in salt water. Bailee: Pinching crabs at the beach. Ramsey: Some lobsters. Well, lobsters live in the shell when they’re dead. Ragnar drizzled glue back and forth across his cardboard piece: See how they're like covered with glue. Are they getting covered? Ragnar chose one wooden bead at a time and placed them in the glue. At the end of our visit to the atelier, Ragnar decided that he would continue to work on his collage again the next day. Upon returning to his piece the next morning, Ragnar looked at his collage and shared an observation, "It's not sticky anymore." He followed up his observation with a question and a hypothesis after some thought, "How do things dry?...I know how things dry. They're dry in the morning."   Cal, Ford and Ramsey also returned to the studio on the second day to continue collaging. While Cal added on to his work from the previous day, Ford decided to create a new piece. Cal: I need to get more materials. I put that and I put it over there with the other one. Then I tried another one. I thought mom would like these different materials. Ford squeezed the glue bottle and very little came out at first. He paused, and then began to tap the bottom of the glue bottle with his heel of his hand until he was happy with the amount of glue that had been dispensed. Ford looked at the materials and stated, “I want to use paper.” Then he looked at the materials tray and seeing no paper, he began to choose a variety of materials, including plastic, wooden and metallic beads. Karen: Which materials that you chose is your favorite, Ford? Ford F! Because it’s in my name! Karen: Ramsey, did you pick the pink bead for a particular reason? Ramsey: Yeah. The pink ones, because Nora (his older sister) loves pink...and purple. Ramsey chose a small purple-dyed shell next. She'll love this. This is a crocodile shell. It has little teeth. Fay placed a dot of glue on her cardboard and then placed a single pink bead on the glue. She then chose several other beads and put them in a pile next to her cardboard on the studio table. Next she began to spread lines of glues into the “valleys” of the cardboard. Fay used the “tool” (a bent paper clip) to pickup and place each of her beads. Rawls drizzled glue across his corrugated cardboard. He placed two orange beads in parallel “valleys.” “Cotton candy. From church. Look at this,” (pointing to the oblong orange beads). “It’s a funny one It’a a funny glue." Fay: I have purple glue at home. Rawls: I got some (glue) on the materials. Stick it. Look at this (picking up an orange bead). It’s kinda cute.” Fay: Look at this one. There’s so much glue over here (looking at her cardboard).
