Welcome to Rainey Room!

Exploring a new environment 

We were beyond excited to welcome everyone back to school this morning! After a fabulous summer we finally got to explore our new environment, the Rainey Room, together. A lot of things have changes, like the place for drop off and pick up, the location of our cubbies and of course our classroom. But many things are also just like we remembered them... And of course we got to see all of our friends again and welcomed Saul to our class as well. Welcome back, everyone! We missed you!

This place is so awesome! Did you know this place?
​- Finlay about the Rainey Room 

​It's kinda a smaller room. Because it has shelves? - Hugh
It's the biggest! - Michael

​Wow! That's something we definitely didn't have in Brown Room. That's last year.
- Lily, finding the game "Spot it" on the shelf

It's kinda amazing! - Saul's thought about the Rainey Room

Remembering and (re-)connecting

Throughout the day the children created connections to our time in Brown Room, shared memories with friends and differences they noticed.


​Remember, Rainbows in Brown Room? Do you remember? - Luke
​

I can reach it without stepping on anything! - Lily, observing how her height changed since being in Brown Room

We all do it together! - Michael, carrying a bucket with Cape

​
Wilder: Hugh, remember when we went on the spinny thing?
(pointing to the spinning platform on the playground)

Hugh: Yeah but I don't want to do that right now.
Because remember when I got sand in my eye?

Wilder: Yes but maybe you won't get sand in this time!

We also made a new friend outside...

Uhhh... why are there real cats in there? (the cob house) - Remy

Hims has a cute face. - Luke

I can't believe there's a cat here. - Daniel

​How did the cat get here? I think he lives near by. - Lucas

I think the kitty came from the tree because every person knows kitties love trees. - Cate
