Sewing Extravaganza!

We have reached that point in the year when we have a lot of exciting ideas to follow.  When reviewing our sewing Magic list, we noticed that there was a lot of sewing to finish.  We made that our focus today and almost everyone worked with clay sewing.   When children work in a group like this, they are often influenced by others and share their ideas.  This was also true today.  Austin took a new approach to his clay sewing  by deciding to not attach any items, but to use only string, "because it's going to be like a spider web."   Evelyn noticed that he was using string that had not been used before and included it in her work.  When deciding where to sew, Louise found one corner where she hadn't done any sewing.  "It's (the corner is) a little lonely," she said, and began sewing in that area.

Sam's plan for the bug house, that actually has dragons on the first level. Austin approved of this plan.

Planning and Building

As was mentioned in last Thursday's blog post, one likely future workshop is using various materials to create buildings that would form a communal village.   We brought this idea to the children at meeting today and children immediately had ideas for structures that they might build.   
   Louise - I'm going to make a hospital. 
   Austin - I'm going to make a church,
   Sam - If you build houses, can put bugs in the house?
   Grace D. - A moon house.
   Sam - (After some whispering with Austin) Austin and me want to work together.
   Austin - Because we have the same idea.
   Sam and Austin - A bug house!
After lunch children returned to their ideas and drew some initial plans.   Enjoy these images!

Finally, we want to wish Lou Lou a very happy 5th birthday.  Evelyn made her a birthday cake on the playground!  Seeing relationships develop between the two classrooms is one of the great things about KW!
