Welcome Lane!!

Today was Lane's first day in KW! We welcomed her by sharing our plans and by giving her the surprise mom made at the Welcome Party: Lane's place card. 

Then Evelyn and Grade D. got to work setting the table for lunch, including two other new place cards: those for Jessica K. and Molly who joined us for lunch today!

"Are we going to the workshop or are we going to Volta Park?" 

Continuing Body Research at school and in our community

Grace David asked the question as we  wrapped up our time in the Outdoor Classroom. This was a great question and one we're left wondering about as we've been reflecting on the meaning of "Kids' Workshop." 

For today, we did head out to Volta Park for some Body Movement fun and Research! 

Sally's observations of movement through sequence of children swinging:

Other photos and quotes of children's movement at the park and in the outdoor classroom:

"Our shadows are making videos!"

A surprising moment of joy and discovery was observed when Lane and Grace D. were on the swings. 
​Grace: "Our shadows are making videos!"
Lane: "On the ground."
Grace: "Do you see?"
Jessica: "I see. They are moving."
Lane, leaning back as she pumped her body on the swing: "This is so much higher!"
Grace: "This is so much fun with our body! We get to watch a video when we're swinging and we move our bodies. That's so cool, right?"
Lane: "Yeah!"
Jessica: "What makes it fun for your bodies?"
Grace: "Because we have a statue." (Possibly meant shadow?)
Lane: "It's fun because we're swinging."
​Grace: "We have a video what looks like to swing!"

Grace and Lane looked down during much of their swinging, seeming to observe the way their bodies moved through the movement of their shadows. 

Mud Cookies devoured!

The Mud Cookies were delivered this morning by Early Birds! Everyone in the entire school enjoyed the special treat made by KW! The overall critique was that they were very delicious and, "Did not taste like mud." Instead, reviewers described the cookies as tasting like peanut butter and chocolate.
