Welcome Cal!

We were so thrilled to welcome Cal to our KW group today!  He did a little bit of everything, including serving as one of our table setters! We're looking forward to seeing him again on Friday!

The Table Runner Takes Shape!

We have almost completed all of our square for the table runners.  It's time to think about how we will put them together!  Luckily, the KW children are excellent problem solvers!

Frannie and Saul played out the squares and found that the big table is seven squares long.

Michael and Remy determined that the long table was 63 inches.

The measurement meeting

Jade and Luke determined the smaller table to be 42 inches.

Wilder, Hugh, Seon and Mimi found that the round table was 46 inches.

Working on the Layout

After measuring the tables yesterday,  children organized the squares on the three tables.  Cape, Louisa,  and Jade took the lead on this work.  Later Mimi, Lily, and Seon checked out the design and gave their approval. 
   Seon - How do you do that?  (Attach the squares together.)
   Brigitte - We will sew them with the machine.
   Seon - You have to go straight!
   Cape - I want Cully's square next to mine and Jade's.

Thank you!

We enjoyed sharing our September work with you.  Many thanks to all the parents who took time to attend our presentation this morning!

A Look at our Projections

Earlier this week, we had a Zoom team meeting with Amelia Gambetti.  After looking at our projections, she encouraged us to carry forward our September ideas that didn't yet happen.  These are highlighted in green on the projections sheet on the left.  During October, you can expect to see us use the clay gifts outside, make clay vases for table setting, and begin family research on eating together.
