MOSAICS!  And other things.
  • In these last two weeks of school, we've been enjoying the process of making mosaics, inspired by the "Fire Breathing Dragon" mosaic on the playground.  We used mod podge to attach tile shards and gems to a large white ceramic tile.  Then we used white sanded grout to fill between the cracks.  We're excited to send home the finished product soon.
  • Since our dear friend Jessica Kuhn is moving on to a new school next year, we've been making messages to tell her how much we love her.  We've also been preparing a couple other top secret gifts!
  • We've been enjoying the translucent materials light table in the entryway.  We appreciate the donations of fun colorful objects!  Layering translucent papers allows us to mix the primary colors into secondary colors.  Here are some quotes from the light table play:
Oliver:  When yellow and blue mix, they become green.  A shooting star!  The sun is coming down.... Uh oh, a rocket ship is going up!
Wolf: (Has a sand timer). You missed the time.  Quickly! Look at the time!
Oliver:  Get everything to safety... This car is driving away.
Cannon:  This is an underwater volcano... and it's active!  If I drink this potion, I'll turn into a Goliath Frog.  Ribbet!

Grace:  How did this gem get made?
​Fletcher:  I know!  In a mine shaft.  That's where lots of glittery gems are.  I wish I could go in a mine shaft.  They keep digging and digging until they reach gold, or precious stones, or diamonds.
Grace: (With translucent paper) Putting this on this makes it gold!  What color will this be?
