All School Chapel & Photo Day

Picture
Today the Brown Room children participated in their first All School Chapel gathering. Each classroom has the responsibility of leading portions of the Chapel Program. The Brown Room children enthusiastically held “candles” while singing
“This Little Light of Mine” during today's Chapel gathering. 

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine 
I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine


​Once our Chapel Program was complete, we headed to the Outdoor Classroom for Photo Day. Each child sat for individual photos, as well as a class portrait.


Back in the Brown Room

While children took turns visiting the Outdoor Classroom for photos in small groups, we were busy back in the Brown Room exploring a variety of materials. ​​

Collaging in the Studio

Children were enthusiastic to experiment with collage in the studio. 

Making Messages for our Family and Friends

At the message center today, we talked about how placing your symbol on a message is a way of making sure that the receiver knows who is sending the message. Also, as we spend more time at the message center, we continue to practice caring for our materials in the Brown Room by matching caps to the same color marker and making sure that we "hear the click" when we put caps back on markers when we are finished with them. 
​Isabelle:
For Daddy. (describing her message)
Click! (when she finished with her marker)

​Mimi: I’m done. I wanna hear the click. For Dada. (describing her message)
While looking in the symbol box for her lightbulb stamp, Isabelle noticed “It’s not in here!” After a short hunt, Isabelle discovered her symbol in another drawer. 
Cal: For my mama.
Fay: I want the one with the squares (describing the paper that she wanted to use for her message). I’m all done. For mommy.  I want the white one now. I wanna do another one. That one is 2 for me. Another one for mommy. I’m done. 
Emma and Louisa both found their symbols and stamped their messages before putting them in their portfolio drawers. 

New Materials in the Brown Room!

Based on children's interest, new materials are being introduced in the Brown Room regularly. With a number of new siblings at home, the children have expressed interest in taking care of babies.  Another big interest in Brown Room is vehicles. With that in mind, trains, train tracks and construction vehicles have been added to the construction area and baby dolls and related care items have been added for dramatic play.
