"Monday, Monday. So good to me." - Mamas and the Papas

We had a wonderful Monday in the Brown Room! We missed Melanie, Janie, and Cedar, but we are so grateful that Caroline came to spend time with us!  Caroline mixed paints in the studio and shared some of her favorite books with us!  

At one point during the morning, we looked up to notice that everyone was engaged in work around the room.  Each child was working with their materials in a very focused, quiet way.  Maxon, Giacomo, and Lochie were working with the translucent and magnetic materials, while Jack worked nearby to built a magnatile structure. C.C. was creating detailed arrangements with the light table materials, and George was making a message for his mommy. 

Outdoor construction was in full swing, and the children were using a variety of materials.  We heard a lot of grunting and communicating as they figured out ways to lift the heavy materials.  We also acquired some elephants in the outdoor classroom yesterday, and they found their way back on Tuesday as well.
