Happy Birthday, Sam!

"I'm definitely going to eat some of that tomorrow!"                      Wilder

Yesterday was Sam's birthday!  The KW crew got to work to prepare a special meal for her.  Sam told us that she likes breakfast food.  Children shredded cheese, ripped bread, and measured eggs and milk to prepare a breakfast bake for her.  It was topped with bacon and tomatoes and served at snack today!

Thinking about Joy

Joy is one of the St. John's values and it is also a category of book fair books.  KW was tasked with making a joy-inspired centerpiece for the table that will feature the joy-related books.  This is an abstract concept, so our group started with a conversation.  As expected, the children had several wonderful ideas to share.  Children collected shiny, sparkly materials and created a "Joy Like A Fountain" centerpiece.

A Halloween Theme in Small World

The big idea in small world was Halloween.  Both yesterday and today, children created a neighborhood with their buildings and had their figures go trick-or-treating.  

This and that...

These first two days have also included:

• Fall-inspired collages,
• Message making,
• Fun outdoor games,
• Putting the finishing touches on our table runners,
• And puzzles, of course!
