Happy Birthday, Brooke!

Many thanks to the families who brought in amazing messages and beautiful flowers to help us celebrate Brooke's birthday.  Even Brown Room got in on the act and delivered a collaborative, orange message for her!  Oliver and Lane are the Blog authors today.  They felt the birthday was worth mentioning in their comments.  
   Lane - The good thing about today was we got cupcakes.
   Oliver - Brooke is our friend.  She can be everyone's friends.

"We talked about the ice cream maker.  I think you put fruit in it.  You put all the ingredients in it makes ice cream.  Real ice cream, not pretend.  It's so exciting."
Teacher note:  Children talked about what flavors they wanted for the ice cream.  There was a lot of enthusiasm for carrot ice cream, in honor of Hop Hop.

(Oliver)"I writed a fruit and I painted it.  An orange.  I wrote and painted the heart of the fiti. It's green.  It's from Disney.  It's a necklace that Olivia had.  It's from Moana."
While using watercolors:
    Grace - This is the mom, this is the daddy, this is the orange who's a teenager, so he walks by himself.
    Aida - One, two, three, four five.  They're dancing in a dance party.  Have you ever seen a blueberry eating a loo-berry?  (To the tune of "Down by the Bay."
    Grace - I like your picture, Aida.  What are you making?

​"I builded that It's a new house for whoever wants to live there.  My lovey's in the boat.  The house has enough room for everyone, because it's big."

"In our obstacle course, there's a tube that you crawl through. You crawl like this (moving his fingers) do-de-do-de-do-do.  You can play with us if you want to."
Teacher's note:  as you look at these images, you'll notice that Tucker A also too a turn with the obstacle course.

"We transformated leaves.  That means you transform them into different things, not just old leaves.  I did them into ballerinas. and I did their arms up, like real ones."

"In construction there was a lot of crashing.  There is a bridge and a highway..  There's super tall buildings, too.  Let's see..... 13 inches."

"Outside, we got new toys .  I found a tiny baby caterpillar.  He lived in a green plant.  He could sting, with his pokey teeth.  We saw a persimmon.  I've never eaten a persimmon."

​"Here is something that's great: the dollhouse!  I like to play with my friends and play with the bunnies.  The dollhouse is just the best thing I've ever seen.  So.... toodles!  That's it!

Have a wonderful weekend!
