**Note to add that photographing while working with clay can be difficult, and we strive to document each child to the best of our abilities in the moment. We are brainstorming other approaches to documenting clay that do not require our messy hands to be on our phones or missing out on the opportunity to support the children. with a hands on approach.** Gracie, 4.2 years

Adaline, 4.3 years Adaline was initially unsure about this process, but along the way she discovered that there are tools (and friends/grownups) that can support you as you work. She asked to use the lucite frame to trace her symbol, and she found so much more joy in the process. In the end, she was so proud of her work -- her face radiated it.

Zoe confidently suggested that she could make a new symbol with "more swirls". Above is Zoe's second version, and you can see that she has used longer coils to create the outline and shaped 5 swirls, one for each "v" of her star. She said, "I put them here to make it stronger." Georgia, 4.2 years

Some of our symbols have been fired, while others are drying in the classroom. We invite you to take a look the next time you are in the room! They really are amazing pieces, and next we intend to explore the shapes and lines of our symbols with wire and paper sculptures. **The goal was to post this blog today (Friday) after the final three children (Pierce, George, and Lillian) had an opportunity to work on their clay symbol. Due to our snow day, this work will be postponed until Monday/Tuesday of next week and their work/symbols will be highlighted in one of next week's blogs!** A Snowy Day
