Paper PossibilitiesWe use paper in so many ways at St. John's. The quality and quantity of paper that we have on hand is impressive. This week, we have had parent volunteers organizing a small portion of our collection for an upcoming alumni worksop. Many thanks to Roxanne, Katie, Shigeno, and Zoe for supporting our work in this way!
This week, children have been been folding, rolling, and otherwise manipulating strips of paper. These individual pieces are glued together in small boxes or on bases. This work will probably continue all week. While working: Seon - It's time to roll! It's like a colorful sushi roll. Eliza - I'm going to get a wider one (paper), so there's more room (for the glue). Lillian - So much stickiness! Gracie - My hands are so gluey. Seon - That's part of the fun! Will - Mine is so cool because it's a bridge. Construction for Critters
On Wednesday, A Construction ChallengeToday children were asked to build a structure that had four separate rooms or pens for animals. Children greeted this challenge with a certain amount of hesitation. They didn't seem sure that they could do it. Charlton - It's a zoo mansion. So Much Sunshine!We are enjoying these sunny, warm days in our outdoor classroom! A Community CenterpieceOne characteristic of the CW children is that they are excellent table setters and really know how to create a centerpiece! Recently, they worked on a special centerpiece for the unhoused guests that are eating dinner at St. John's. Molly and Sarah Maitre provided chili, the Brown Room made muffins, Tucker Room decorated with additional centerpieces, Ben Werschkul and Katie Alberts brought in cornbread, and Jackie Coombe and Katherine Boone provided dessert. At 4:00 Molly, Cece, and Sarah served the food.
