Pod AYesterday, in preparation for the feast, the children made banana chocolate chip muffins. And stirred the soup. Today the children decorated the table and enjoyed the feast! Thanks to everyone who joined us and especially to Lou and Jennie for reading lovely books. We are grateful to have such wonderful children and families at our school!  Pod B Slideshow It was such a wonderful celebration day. We were delighted to be the candle-lighters at Chapel (thank you to Grace and Oliver!) and to eat the Thanksgiving soup in our very own handmade bowls. It was such a treat having parents read books to us over Zoom - many thanks to Jim, Negar, Jennifer, and Laura, and to any other parents who tuned in. We are so extremely thankful! We had a new materials experience in the studio today: paper making! Teachers prepared a paper pulp mixture which floated in a big bowl of water. Children used a mould (the small rectangle device) to pick up the paper particles, then gently squeezed out excess water with a sponge and a towel. Hopefully by Monday our recycled paper will by dry and we can use it at the message center! BIG thank you to Grace, Oliver, and Lily for dropping off our blueberry muffins at Martha's table!!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Have a lovely break!

Happy Birthday, Dakota!Dakota turned five over the weekend and we had her school celebration today. She walked around the candle and blew out the candle before she opened the gift from Pod B. The pot for her plant featured her favorite colors (pink, purple, and yellow) as well rooster, a giraffe, a unicorn, and a fish (Dakota's symbol.) Later in the morning. we read two books provided by Dakota as we ate delicious birthday cookies! Happy Birthday, Dakota!
Just a short blog today because teachers will be using the afternoon to tidy-up around the school. Pod A cut sweet potatoes and butternut squash for next week's Thanksgiving feast. It was hard work, but as the children like to say, "We're Tucker Room, we can do hard things!" Here's a couple of quotes from the experience: Lane: The table smells good because of these (the sweet potatoes). Cannon: This is kinda getting fun, Brooke! Gigi: And making our arms stronger! Pod B .... Today we made blueberry muffins to donate to Martha's Table. After they cooled, the children packed them into ziplock bags. We had a lot of jobs to do to prepare, like preheating the oven and getting the measuring cups. Fletcher said, "This is the hardest job I ever done!" The batter was very thick and each child used strong arms to stir. Grace worked hard to use the whisk, and said, "Just keep on mixing. It's gonna be fine... Geez Louise!" Oliver said, "My mom knows how to stir this really good. She's the strongest in the world." Aida said, "It's kind of thick!" Olivia said as she stirred, "The key is to always hold the bowl."
Sharing Some of Our WorkThis morning outside the blue door were two displays of recent Tucker work. Both pods have been exploring creating and transforming objects through collage and materials. Pod B's display focused on their work with creating and exploring machines. Pod A's display were collages were creations made from leaves, magazine images and body parts. It was wonderful to share some of our work in person so families could have a closer look and chat with the children about the process. Jim knew about "Robata," Grace's creation but upon seeing it in person he commented, "I didn't realize it was so big Grace." This Gallery Walk format is a new strategy we are trying out as a school. It's a way to connect with families since you cannot see the work inside the school. Pod AAs a way to further explore the human body, the children traced projected images of drawing figures on large paper. Afterwards they were given free rein to add details to the figure. As teachers, we were curious to see if idea of transformation would could continue - and it definitely did in some of the final products.

Pod BBackwards Day!Outside, Oliver created a minivan and invited Andy to sit inside with him. When other children saw, they wanted to join, but quickly found that there wasn’t enough room. With some quick problem-solving, they decided to add the picnic table on the back. Oliver excitedly named this new creation a “bus”. Then we simply had to decide where to go! Grace: Let’s make up our place! Fletcher: Or we could go to Disney World!! Olivia: I’ve been to Disney World two times. Andy: I know, let’s go to Connecticut. Fletcher: It’s gonna take a long long long long long long long long long time to get to Disney World, because that’s how long it took on the plane. Olivia: My daddy and me walked to Disney World, and it was not a long time. Andy: I went to Disney World, too. How bout let’s go to Connecticut. Aida: I want to go to Asia. It will probably take eight years. Andy: Australia! Grace: In Asia, this could be our cottage to stay in. Now let’s get in! Let’s pack! Chopping VeggiesIn preparation for Thanksgiving next week, the children chopped vegetables for the soup. It was hard work! Olivia: Do you smell that? Andy: Yum I smell it. Grace: Smells like pumpkins. Birthday Committee Olivia drew a giraffe for Dakota’s birthday committee. She made 3 drafts, using a picture on the internet to compare her work to the body of a real giraffe. The first draft had a beautiful smile but no neck. The second draft had too many legs. But the 3rd draft had a beautifully long neck, a tail, legs, and even giraffe colors. She had a lot of patience and dedication while troubleshooting this image as a gift for her friend.    Leaf PaintingOliver and Andy both painted leaves today. Andy used the paint colors to reflect what he saw in the fall leaves, then used a pastel to carve lines into the paint. Oliver remembered our conversation from yesterday and added red “chemicals” to his leaf.    Pod B
 Clear Glaze To finish up our clay bowls project, the children added a special shiny glaze to the surface of their bowl, inside and out. We discussed how the shiny glaze keeps the bowl food-safe. Hopefully we can fire them in time to use them as soup bowls for our Thanksgiving feast :)
Construction
     
It was such a beautiful day today!
Pod A Outside It was lovely outside this morning. Even with the chilly temperatures the children had lots of fun building, playing pets, and just generally enjoying each other’s company. Wolf and Palmer started with a clear plan to build a wind machine. Cannon soon joined. Palmer: We’re building a wind machine. Wolf: It blocks the wind. Palmer: And blows it away. Wolf: Cannon, would you like to help us make a wind machine? Cannon: Ok! And Corona is going to get trapped in that little crack. Palmer: And it’s never going to get out again. Never escape. Never, ever, ever. Once inside a new construction project came to life: a ship! Palmer: We’re building a ship! Cannon: It’s going to take the animals back to Africa. Palmer: There’s going to be a plank in case there’s any pirates on the ship. Dakota: Here are some ‘marshmallows.’ (white dome shapes) Palmer: Good! The animals will need something to eat on the long trip. Wolf was also building nearby but had been working alone until… Palmer: Wolf, how about your building connects to our ship? Wolf: Yeah, good idea. (He connects the structures with blocks.) Wolf: I connected it! Palmer: GREAT! Collage Last week children spent a morning cutting out images from magazines and photocopies of anatomy texts. On Monday and again today, children compiled these images to represent a new idea, creature, or object. Partner Painting! Maren and Lane decided to paint collaboratively. Their idea was to create a rainbow painting; each girl took responsibility for different parts of the painting. Lane started on the rainbow while Maren created the sun and the sky.

 | The children also made something for themselves! They worked on these beautiful clay bowls that they will use during the Thanksgiving Feast. |
Thinking about Leaves
The children had a full hour outside on this beautiful, windy day. They noticed the colorful leaves on the persimmon tree. Children made observations and formed theories about the natural world. Grace's ideas involved the lines that she saw in the leaves, something that Pod A has been thinking about this year as well.
Olivia: See this one? It has red and green and it shines in the sun.
Melanie: Why are they so many different colors?
Grace: ‘Cause seasons change. It hibernates.
Olivia: And we’ll see no leaves when winter comes.
Grace: See the lines? They have color in them and they spread around the leaf. If you wish this one wanted to be pink, it wouldn’t happen, because it wanted to be orange, and it had to, ‘cause the lines. Do you know why it had to change? Sometimes leaves need cold. Sometimes leaves need rain. What I still don’t understand is, you see those trees hanging down like that? (Points to weeping willow) They don’t change color.
Melanie: Why is that tree still green?
Grace: It has really really strong chemicals. The tree wants it to have color, but the tree branches don’t like it.. they’re punishing it with don’t changing colors so all year it will stay the same. They could just ask “hey can you take the chemicals out?”
Aida: (Picking up a brown leaf)That reminds me of chocolate chips.
Olivia inspects different textures of leaves, some are very crunchy.
Olivia: They’re getting curved because it’s a different summer. They’re all getting broken and stuff. Because you step on them, and you break them.
(We have seven more minutes to play)
Aida: let’s collect seven more leaves.
Children also worked on cooperative building in our sand area.
Oliver: It’s a cake machine. You put the cake in and it transforms.
Andy: I’m putting sugar inside.

Today we celebrated Oliver's 5th birthday! His friends in Tucker pod A made him a gift. He let them know ahead of time he would like a giraffe, flowers (since his symbol is a flower), and the color blue incorporated into the present. They made him a beautifully decorated plant pot!
 |  |
Oliver's mommy and daddy joined us over Zoom. He was so delighted to share his gift with them!
 | Oliver went around the candle 5 times because he'll be five years old this coming Friday.  |
| We were lucky enough to borrow Oliver's Richard Scarry book all about vehicles. We loved reading about all the millions of different vehicles - we were bursting out laughing at the pencil car, the hot dog car, the banana car, and many more. We loved finding Goldbug on each page. |  |

Thank you to the Krusius family for the delicious pink and white frosting cookies!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER! We love you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER! We love you!
Pod A Clay Day!Work on clay animals continued! Today Maren worked on a unicorn while Cannon created an anteater. As they worked, children thought about concepts such as relative size and shape, as well as stability. Is a head shaped like a ball or is it long and pointy? What size do the legs need to be to support the body? Should the legs be longer than the body? They also implemented a variety of clay techniques such as using slip and rolling balls and coils. We can't wait to fire and glaze these cool creations! Nora, Dakota, Lane, Palmer, and Gigi spent time exploring clay, a process the children refer to as "do-anything-you-want clay." | |
Yesterday, Gigi created a clay puppy while Nora made a clay pony. Here's some images from that work.
Clay Leaves, Continued
Last month, children worked carefully with clay coils to represent the outline and the veins of leaves. These intricate pieces were very fragile. Now that the pieces have been fired, children are working to transfer them to a board. As they worked, the leaves are often reinvented as totally new leaves. Spatial skills and patience figured prominently as the leaves were moved and glued to a background.
Construction Collaboration
The use of projection in the construction area has been very popular lately. Today the first three builders were Palmer, Gigi, and Lane. They readily agreed that they would like a train video projected . From there, the three took on individual pursuits:
Palmer - I need a wall for my grill. We need a grill so people can eat.
Gigi - I made farm. They (people on the train) can visit the animals. It's a petting zoo. They can even feed the animals. You can play with them and pet them.
Lane - I'm building a home for my toucan. You can't pet the toucans or feed them. You can't pet them because their flap might shock you and you can't feed them because they might bite you. You can do flying races with them.
Palmer - I'm working on the chimney to the grill. I'm putting medium size pieces on the bottom and smaller pieces on top.
Then, the play became more collaborative.
The children worked together, while still incorporating their individual ideas.
Palmer - Uh, Lane, do you need any pumpkins at the house?
Lane - Yes, I need three.
Palmer - Do you need another block, Lane?
Lane - Yeah, I do. (Looking at Gigi's structure) Gigi, cool! It's like a maze.
Palmer and Lane work together to build a roof.
Lane - Perfect. Now could you get two long blocks to close here?
Palmer - Here's some rocks. Gigi, do you need rocks?
Lane - Gigi, is it okay if I set up some people who are petting?
Gigi - Sure.
Palmer also joins in and adds some people. As the day progressed, Cannon came over and contributed his ideas about traveling on the train, while still respecting the work of the three initial builders.

Machines in Pod B
Last week, Pod B took apart a scale and other items. Their fascination with the pieces and the process has led to a genuine interest in machines. Yesterday and today, the children worked on a large scale, using materials to form big machine collages in Blake Hall. Here's some of the ideas that they shared as they worked.
From yesterday:
Grace - We want it (the machine) to walk all by itself.
Oliver - It needs controls to make it drive.
Grace - Mine's "Robota," it's a girl. It could be like a brand new toy. (She adds eyes, a "chest plate," a head, and a necklace) Now all we need is her tummy. (A bit later...) The heart is pumping the whole. Something needs to put pressure. I also need another same arm.
Oliver - Guess what I made? I'm making a shower. I'm making a drain. (He starts to revisit his initial idea of an ice machine) It's spinning.
Grace - Now can we hot glue it together? Instead of feet, she's going to roller-skate.
Oliver - Press G, O: go. This is where the ice comes out from. There's water in this thing and it turns the water into ice. It blades it, and pours it into here. (A bit later, he helps us address a problem with the hot glue gun) I'm helping keeping it plugged in, since it was moving (for Grace).
Grace - Thank you. Oliver, this is the last foot and then you get a turn, okay? Teamwork makes the dreamwork, ya know.
From today:
(Andy is creating a machine for bad guys which has fire and a jail)
Andy: Here is some hot water, and here it pops out. Cold water, almost like snow. They turn to ice.
(Grace continues work on "Robata"; she problem-solves ways of hiding the battery)
Grace - This could be where she gets her energy. .... I did it! I got it, look! Only people can access it in here. Only people who can get the battery working can open it. She has a big belly.
(Aida talks about her process creating a crayon machine.)
Aida: This makes the crayons go bump bump bump so they turn into hardened. This carries them to the top of here. It's a tube that carries the crayons up high and down low.
(Oliver continues work on his ice machine)
Oliver: (to Fletcher) I can show you which one 'ons' and 'offs' it. My ice machine made real ice!
(Fletcher put a lot of thought and precise work into a "standing car machine" which even has "an elevator like St. Johns". More to come on this later!)

Making Music Outside
Pod B enjoyed their full hour outside on this beautiful day. There was a lot of interest in making music and eventually a marching band formed!
Thanksgiving
At meeting, we reminded the children that Thanksgiving is coming up soon. Here is a little snippet of their conversation:
Oliver: At Thanksgiving we eat a lot of food.
Andy: Yeah and everybody celebrates.
Aida: And you get to talk about all the things you’re thankful for.
(Everyone nods and agrees)
Grace: Well, I’m thankful for Aida. And Melanie, and Olivia, and Rachel, and you (Andy), and Oliver, and Fletcher, and you again, and you again, and you again (she goes around the circle twice).
Oliver: I’m thankful for Andy.
Grace: And I’m thankful for drink and food and for God and the sun. I’m thankful for everything, and for my school.

| "Palmer made a dinosaur out of clay. I thinked it was amazing because it was so big. My clay animal is going to be a horse or a pony or a unicorn. " | Nora - I was at the dollhouse. I played with Gigi. I like the bunk beds, I also like the normal bed. I liked when the baby was on the roof and was sliding down in the hole on the roof. |
| "I noticed that they were building two rocks slides." | "The birthday committee started a gift for Oliver. It's going to be his birthday. The gift is always a plant."  |
"We were building a boat house. It had a roof. The sand was for keeping the building warm."
|  |
| "In the travel area, me and Oliver made a mini-van. It went to the Duck Pond. There were pretend babies and me and Oliver (as passengers)." | "I made a lego store. A fruit store. It was just pretend, it was a too small space to have real fruit or pretend fruit. Olivia made an ice cream store." |
| "Fletcher, Aida, and Melanie did a puzzle." | It was another beautiful day to be outside. Andy spoke of his favorite part of the outdoor classroom, "I love the tree swing. I wish I had a tree swing, but I just have a regular swing at my grandparents' house." |
Many thanks to Aida's family for bringing in a book about machines! The children made observations as they studied the pages:
Fletcher - (Looking at a page with a plane) A propellor. Because it powers up planes.
Aida - And a hot air balloon.
Oliver - It has a gas hood. It has fire and the gasser heats it up and the fire makes it rise up.
Olivia - A bird is not a machine. It's not big.
Andy - Because inside the bird is a human body.
Oliver - A vacuum doesn't have a body. See? 'Cause it's a machine.
There's so much great food for thought in this short conversation!

Both Pods have enjoyed looking at and reflecting on the memory boxes that are now on display in the greeting hallway.
We hope you enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!
Pod A
Dakota and Lane made their clay animal sculptures today. Both referenced photographs and their drawings of the animals to ensure their clay representations were accurate. The work was slow and detailed and required revisions along the way. After creating the body, each girl added legs, followed by a neck, head and tail. The techniques of attaching clay pieces by scoring and slipping were crucial to ensure that the parts attached well.
Dakota's first adjustment was to the legs. She said, "I'm making them a little shorter, so it will stand up better."
Later Dakota placed the head on the neck and then decided that it needed to be bigger. (As seen in the last full row of photos.) At the end she added the horns and ears before drawing on eyes and the mouth.

Lane made a number of revisions to her cat. At one point she realized that she had attached 3 legs in a line and so she repositioned the middle leg before adding the final one. She also noticed that the first head she made was a bit small and made it bigger before attaching it. At the end she added ears and a curvy tail - just like she had made in her drawing.
Maren continued work on our message to Hanna. She helped decide what could be photographed to help fill-in some of the letters that were still missing. Maren decided that she could use church for C, since our school is in a church and helmets for H, since children wear helmets when they ride bikes outside. And for T she thought taking time was important because as the children work at school they take their time on projects - taking time is something we value. She took a photo of Lane working on her clay cat to show taking time.
Pod A took advantage of the Rainey Rooms not being here and played outside for an hour from 10-11. The children were thrilled to have some extra time outside, especially with the lovely weather. The pet play from yesterday continued. Everyone was involved in the play and engaged with the narrative. Lane was the human and her pets were:
Dakota as Zoe the giraffe
Nora as Majesty the horse
Maren as Luna the kitty
Gigi as Alex the puppy
Palmer was a monkey
For the most part, Lane did the talking but the other children informed the narrative through their actions.
Lane: First you need to eat dinner. Here's your milk.
Maren: Meow, meow.
Lane: Goodnight.
(Dakota and Maren go to the monkey bar, which is Lane's bed.)
Lane: My pets are trying to take my sleeping spot.
(Gigi had stayed in bed.)
Gigi: You have a good puppy though.
(Dakota runs away from the house.)
Lane: Giraffe is just having some fun. Don't worry kiddos.
Palmer: Giraffe come back!
Lane: She's like 100 years old so she can go on an adventure by herself. It's fine.
Lane drove her pets to the park and then to visit their grandparents. The whole group went to dinner and everyone dressed up for the occasion. Eventually, even Lane had to take a rest because being the mom is a lot of work.

It was backwards day! Even with a small group of 4, children enjoyed pretending to be Paw Patrol heroes.
Andy: Everybody attention. A bad guy is coming.
Oliver: The drawbridge opens.
Olivia: Nobody knows that we can just sneak through.
Aida: What are you guys doing?
Andy: This is the charger for the pups. You guys are dogs so you can come in.
(Aida comes in through secret door)
Oliver: Aida, you’re Everest. Ice in your mouth and wings.
(Olivia is Sky, Andy is Chase, Oliver is Rocky)
Melanie: Where do bad guys go?
Andy: Put them in jail.
(In boat)
Andy: We’re not balancing... here’s heavier, here’s lighter.
(Rocking.... they invite Aida but she’s nervous)
Oliver: Everest c'mon. You can sit next to me since this is a boat.
Olivia: But we need a barbecue, we’re hungry.
(They add a block)
Andy: Oh my gosh it’s already balancing. It’s the same heavy.
Oliver: Can you stop bouncing, I’m not ready to go yet.
(They run)
Aida: Look at Andy go! Look at me go! Wanna see how fast I run?
