Games to Build our Skills
Picture
"I love this game" - Lucas
One of our favorite card games in KW is the matching game. There are several versions such as "Stone Soup" but the Ninja Turtles version is currently the most popular. We problem solved, practice our short term memory skills, pay attention to our peers and, most importantly, had fun doing it. 
Our other favorite game is Jenga. Jenga has been a big hit in class and is wonderful for building fine motor skills and perception. The tension as the tower builds is palpable but we love the challenge.
High Card/Low card has been catching on recently. Using the large playing cards, children have to identify the numbers as they turn over cards and quickly discern which number is larger. 

Finishing Touches of Our Guardians

Message Center Guardian 
While making decisions on the mouth, children drew new version of the mouth.  In its final version, the guardian will have more than one mouth.  

While drawing:  
Finlay - Every time he bites, he gets lava in his mouth and that makes him more powerful.

Deciding on nose possibilities:
Wilder - How ‘bout we do this?  Glue the pen on for a nose.  It’s pointy and straight.
Jade - Or we could glue a cap from the glue or a cap from a marker.

The Human Guardian

How do we get this head attached?
The Human Guardian has one important task left. Get the head onto the body. After Remy and Bea shows Lily their hard work on the hair and got her seal of approval, it was time to connect everything. 

Bea: These are the braids. We made them from ribbons.
Lily: It's kinda crazy but it is beautiful.
Remy: I made this part (points to the braids she added)
Lily: That's beautiful
Jordan: Ok, how are we going to attach the head?
Remy: Sewing?
Lily: Let's use wire.
​Bea: Oh, I can do that

Today we decided to focus on water colors. The children used a variety of different ideas as inspiration for their work. Using our previous knowledge of the language, the children decided, depending on their goals, whether they wanted to started with permanent mark to sketch their idea first or begin immediately with water colors.
