Happy Classroom Stories Day! Brown Room was abuzz with conversation about grown ups coming to the school this evening. When asked what it is we should share with them tonight, Ragnar said “clay!” and Ford and Charlton both suggested painting and collaging. Several children got to work right away preparing some collages to share this evening.

Emma: A little bit of glue. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I’m doing the glue. I gotta use the tiles. 
Ellie: Collage now. This my artwork. I wanna do another. These materials.
Charlton: I’m use the tile. This is a tile.
Ragnar: We need more glue. These look like cherries because they have red (referring to the red beads attached to wire). Look, we have candles (referring to the red and yellow plastic pieces).

​

Other children enjoyed making messages, some even left them in their portfolios for grown ups to check out while they were here!

Of course, the most popular choices today were the new additions to the classroom! After lots of interest in the ball run from the hallway, we decided to add one to the classroom space. At the light table, several children explored the digital microscope. Tomorrow we will have even more things use with it!

We're so excited to see everyone at 5:30 tonight!
