Welcome and Welcome Back!

It was wonderful to start our new school year together today!  We saw children reconnecting with retuning friends and reaching out to make new friends.   Children shared photo albums, made messages, and built together in the construction, formed partnerships to complete puzzles, and pushed each other on the swing.  As Fletcher reflected on his return to school he said, "I think I'm not shy anymore.  Because school is fun now!"

We were thrilled to see our friends through the glass doors today!

Preparing our Environment: Paint Mixing

Both groups enthusiastically mixed paints  and used them today.  Here's bit of the conversation as they worked: 
    Dakota - It's looking like a caterpillar.  It's dark green. (Adding red) Now it looks like fire.
    Gigi - I'll use red and blue.  Maybe it will make purple.  (Using her paint) I'm going to make a sunset right here.
    Nora - I'm going to mix purple.  (A bit later, painting with all of the colors)  I was making a green slipper.  
In Tucker B, children created nearly the same color.... an murky purple.  
   Andy - It's violet.
   Aida - It's black.  


    

Sewing!

Tucker B children were excited to see a sewing machine in their classroom.  Olivia started sewing and worked with speed and precision.   Grace made plans for possible purses, or dresses.  Aida was interested in making a dress for his bunny, Hop Hop.    
     Grace - (Thinking about the purses)  We need two fabrics for each person.
    Andy - (Quickly making some calculations) We need ten  (5 children were present today).  And two (for Oliver, who wasn't present).
     Sewing and math on the first day!  We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
