Celebrating Big and Small Moments

We love to go on trips!

Theo built an airplane and insisted on taking Brigitte on a trip to France and then to California! " Brigitte come sit at the back of my plane" - Fun. Jake said  "I am a snake guy", so watch out for him on the plane!! Susan and Leo also came along on this fun adventure. We had a little bet of turbulences due to a storm but Theo stayed in control at all time!

Another Day Another Trip!

Theo - " Brigitte come sit at the back of my plane. We are going to Japan, we are taxing right now, then we have to go on four planes! there's a storm, so buckle up"

The Tug of war between the Tuckers and the Raineys was fierce!

It all started with three Tucker friends against two Rainey friends, but other Rainey friends joined in solidarity!

Helping Brown Room with dying fabric stripes was fun

Our Brown room friends were dying stripes of fabric in the outdoor classroom and left some blank stripes and watercolors for the CW children to also enjoyed the process. 
​Max: "Can we do more tomorrow?"

More planned trips in the classroom

Thomas and Theo came up with a fantastic plan to go to Candyland, they will get there by driving a kid jeep, and nobody can stop them. Of course when they get there , they will only eat candy!! how fun!

Theo and Thomas are planning their fun trip to Candyland, then they drew their ideas

A Bit of Watercolor and Tempera for Springtime Things

Repurposing some different  materials - strips of air filter woven with  pipe cleaners, we gave these "flowers" a pop of color!

Repurposing egg cartons and valuing the density of their paper composition, Max saw what we hoped would be imagined - a bird - or in Max's words: "It's looks like a duck!" So we got the tempera colors of his choice and got to work painting the bird. Betsy soon joined and much later, Maeve voiced interest. We'll keep working on the birds and flowers for spring.

Table Setting Moments

Come and Get Me...

​Sharing the CW video with the children at the end of CW today. They had fun watching the "long" movie.
