Pod A
Paper Sculpture (Mini)

Last week, we learned paper sculpture techniques with larger paper strips... This week we applied that learning to create mini paper sculptures that will hang below our school photos in the hall.

Construction

Throughout the morning, multiple children collaborated on a variety of animal fortresses, a yoga studio, farms and peaceful pastures.

Outside Time

Even though it was an overcast day, we enjoyed our time outside as always.  We jumped through hula hoops and worked on construction in the sandbox.  

Pod B
Money Money Money!

Today we introduced prices to the Ice Cream Shop.  Each scoop was one dollar, as well as each "sprinkle".  Children counted their ice cream components before buying and selling using our new (fake) dollar bills. Aida used pads of paper to illustrate all the different colors of marshmallows.  Oliver used the scale to weigh each ice cream sundae.

We also began making a sign for the ice cream shop, to let customers know what we have to sell.

Bye Bye Dragons

Outside, we pretended to be scary dragons and chased each other.  Aida said, "It's almost like tag.... dragon tag!"  Children were giggling like crazy as they ran and hid from the dragons (teachers took a turn first, then Aida, then Grace, and so on... We practiced our scary dragon growl!)

 ​After we were done, we rang the gong.  In the short video, Fletcher tells Aida to "Keep going!" so the dragons will fly away from our playground.
