We are making shinny Ginkgo leaves for the Book Fair! - Adaline With the Book Fair underway, the CW children are making gingko leaves to decorate one of the Blake Hall window! The children have been drawing ginkgo leaves, then trace them with glue on a transparent paper, and add translucent and colorful materials to it. The children also had the choice to trace on an image of a gingko. They continue their creative process by tracing the Ginkgo leaves with glue then adding materials. Adaline - Who made that? (looking at Eliza's ginkgo leaf) I woiuld be very proud if I made that ! Adaline to Lillian - We are making shinny Ginkgo leaves to put inside the book fair.

Collages ContinueChildren are continuing to work on the sorting of natural materials and using them (as well as other found materials in collages. Some children have returned to this work for several days, finding new ways to include a variety of materials. Drawings Inspired by our Natural MaterialsThe atelier has been a very chatty place as children think about the materials they are using. Some of their observations have served as an inspiration for drawings. A Quick Look at Everything Else...
The Week AheadOur natural material collections will provide the base for new experiences this week. What can we discover when we use the digital microscope to look at them? We've noticed that children love to count and sort and form patterns. We'll bring those techniques to our materials as children form new compositions. Everyone is thinking about Halloween and we're sure to see that reflected in our messages and in construction. We can't wait to get started!
