Thanksgiving Feast is beloved tradition at St. John's, and the children are involved throughout the process -- creating centerpieces, chopping the veggies for the soup, stirring the soup, setting the tables, etc. It is memorable for them and all of us as well. Below are some highlights from all of these steps and photographs of their reflection drawings -- reflections of their Thanksgiving breaks. Also, we love a good flashback, so we've included some "then and now" images! Chopping Vegetables Then (Brown Room): Green beans and spinach Now: Celery and Zucchini Stirring the soup Then (Brown Room) and Now: Rainey Room Stirring: Our clay work becomes the centerpieces The Thanksgiving Feast is part of the life of the school, and clay work has become a huge part of the life of the Rainey Room. Each year, we create beautiful centerpieces for our Feast tables, and this year we thought it would be a great opportunity to display all of the work the children have been doing at the open clay table and within more focused clay experiences. Below are some never before seen photos of them working with the clay. Setting the Tables The children were incredibly thoughtful and intentional about the placement of their clay. They cared for each other's work and were proud to show each other where they could find their clay pieces. The joy and pride they displayed were infectious. This was hands down my favorite Feast table I've (Elyse) been a part of!
Chapel Feast Then (Brown Room) and Now: Reflection DrawingsOn Monday, the children were eager to tell us about their holiday weekend. Many of them told stories of getting Christmas trees and eating pie at Thanksgiving. Below are their reflection drawings as we chatted.
Please take some time to tour around the classroom! We've changed some photos, added documentation, displayed a lot of the children's clay, and would love for you to see it and offer questions and feedback. Also, remember that you are always free to browse through your child's portfolio drawer during drop-off.
