Where to Sit: Collaging Snack Time Table Place Cards

Our month of Thanksgiving feast and table centerpieces, our continued explorations with collaging, and the approaching arrival of Lucia sparked the idea and subsequent work of making table place cards for snack time. We thought this would be a beautiful way to not only welcome Lucia but also give recognition that all the Brown Room children have finally arrived. We are finally a whole class (spare the different days). At last!

Day 1: Sylvie, George, Lochie, C.C., Giacomo, and Maxon make their collages in the Atelier
(This was George's 1st day and his first time in the atelier. For the other children, the atelier is still a relatively new work space.)

Day 2: Audrey, Jane, and Marley make their collages
(In accordance with the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, the environment is valued as a third teacher, and so changing up the space can help to facilitate an experience. In order to accommodate the continuation of place card collages, we switched the message center with the blue table.)

Day 3: Janie, Jack, and Cedar make their collages
(We missed Janie, Jack, and Cedar on the previous collaging days.)

Day 4: Lucia and Reed make their collages
(Lucia's first day and Reed returning, after several days away, and finally, we got all of our snack time place card collages made so that we could use them at our special, we've all arrived, snack.)
