Backwards Day

Working with Wire

Luckily, the rain cleared and allowed us a mostly dry block of time for Backwards Day in the Brown Room this week. Our studio experience in the outdoor classroom was working with wire and threading materials. 

Ragnar: There are not so many wires. Let’s count. There are twenty-teen wires. 
Ellie: I cut a little wire. Where the wire cut?
Emma, after working with wire for a few minutes and then opting to join friends in a game of "Shark Hunter": Nope. It’s cold out here.
Charlton: What are you doing guys?
Ford: I made this way, this way, this way.
Rawls: I made a robot.

Seon: This is mine. 

Using Our Imaginations

"Shark Hunter" has been a very popular dramatization in the outdoor classroom lately and today a new dimension was added that we'll call "On The Boat!"
Ford: There are sharks in there (pointing to the mulched area of the outdoor classroom)! Seon, come on the boat! Karen, come on the boat! 
Isabelle: Come on the boat, Charlton!

Charlton, describing the bamboo poles in the outdoor classroom: We can use them as a flashlights. 
Ramsey: We look for sharks in the cave with them.
