Recently, we invited Brown Room to morning meeting to share about their work with spring, flowers, clay, and preserving memories. We knew that this would connect with the Rainey Room children's idea to have "clues" about the outdoor classroom as a way to remember it. Below are some moments from that conversation: “Flowers because we have to make some prints.” - Betsy “Of flowers?” - Lillian? Can you share why flowers right now? What have we been talking about? Elizabeth and Betsy, what season is it? - Sam “Spring!” - Will What's going to happen to our spring flowers? - Sam “Then they will die.” - Betsy, 3.4 years We thought, oh my goodness, since they won’t last forever, how can we remember them? - Sam “They will grow back up.” - Betsy Next spring. - Sam [Gracie explains cycle of the year] I heard Sam use the word ‘remember’. They were trying to ‘remember’ what the flowers will look like. - Elyse “Take pictures of them.” - Georgia That’s one option. - Sam “We made a clay print.” - Betsy "It will help us remember the green flowers. Then they get dead." - Dahlia, 3 years Are you guys trying to remember anything? - Sam “We’re trying to remember the outdoor classroom.” - Georgia “The cobb house.” - unknown Exploring impressions of flowers as a way to remember them: "First, you put your flowers on the paper and then you can cut them if you want to.

Then you have to pick them out." - Adaline, 4.6 years Henri's Arrangment
