Week at a Glance

It has been an intimate and cozy week due to the low attendance numbers. While Monday was a more regular attendance day, and lucky for Zoe whose birthday we celebrated, Tuesday shifted our class size to three people. Wednesday numbers increased by two and we concluded our week with six children.
​This change in class size and class dynamic presented opportunities for children to connect, interact, and engage with each other and the materials more one-on-one or two-on-two. The foci of our experiences this week were continuations from last week, using clay slabs to work with the scoring and slipping technique, constructing (elaborate) buildings, racing cars on race tracks, and drawing self portraits. 

Happy 3rd birthday, Zoe!

Get up and dance Brown Room (all three of you)!!

What else could we use the cardboard for?

Observing, studying, and making chairs

"Molly, I made a chair out of blocks and magna tiles." -George

We took a break from the big (hollow) blocks to offer a block puzzle: Can you make a chair, a table, a house?

​Happy Friday and a happy weekend ahead!

Thank you to Maggie for her time with us the past two weeks, lending continuity to the children's daily life at school.

To everyone who has been at home this week, all we truly missed you having you with us, and we look forward to reuniting healthy and happy next week!
