To the waterfront

Yesterday, we took a walk down to the waterfront.  We divided into two groups.  Each group had a "job" to do.  Elyse and Molly took a group straight down Potomac, over the canal, and down to the waterfront park.

​Maxon, Lucia, Jane, Violet, and George were tasked with going straight to the water to observe, draw, and use some of our construction materials to help us think about the shape of the bridge, the lines, function of the bridge, etc.

Along the way, we discovered some interesting "structures".  Violet asked, "Why is it here?"  
Picture
"There it is." - Maxon and Lucia

George, Lucia, and Jane sat down to draw.

Maxon had a theory that there were sharks and fish in the water.  Everybody helped look for them, but we never saw them.

Maxon spotted a man in a kayak.

Reuniting with the other group!

Pure joy from feeding the ducks. 

Reflecting on our field trip

Picture
Today, a few of us shared with Lochie and Jessica M. about the trip we took to the waterfront.  

Why did we go?
"Because we were looking at the water." - Lochie
"At the bridge!" - Reed 

How did you get there? 
"I runned fast." - Reed 

"You bringed stuff, but that was at school [noticing our blocks]." - Lochie
"There was blocks." - Reed
"And a lot of bridges." - Lochie
"There's a seagull." - Lochie
"We feed them." - Jane

In the other group, what did you do?
"Draw something?" - Lochie
"St. John's." - Reed
"That's a big clipboard.  What were you doing with it?" - Jessica M.
"Drawing on it. How to get to the waterfront." - Audrey 

Looking at the photo of a "one way" sign: 
"Why did Melanie take this photo?" - Elyse 
"It's because she wanted to walk to the bridge." - Reed
"A sign." - Lochie 
"Go that way." - Audrey 
 "I was all the way in the front and to the waterfront and I saw a truck and then I walked all the way down a hill." - Reed 

Looking at a photo of C.C.: 
"She's drawing a map." - Lochie 

Photo of bridge [below]: 
"Something stuck to the bridge." - Lochie 
Audrey points to the lamp posts. 
"Something stuck in the bridge." - Reed


Happy Birthday Janie! 

Picture
Today, we celebrated Janie's third birthday!  Her family, mom and dad, came to share her two favorite Disney characters from Milan, some sweet photos of Janie on her previous birthdays, and some delicious brownies!  Janie was kind enough so pass her dolls around so that all of the children had a chance to see them up close.

​Cedar and Lochie were Janie's birthday committee, and were eager to give Janie her gift.  We also chose a yellow ribbon, because our sweet Janie LOVES yellow.

Committee Work for Janie's Birthday

"He n"We need to sew this stuff." - Lochie
Picture
"He needs ears, and hair, and eyes." - Lochie
"What does he use to eat?" - Elyse 
"Mouth." - Lochie
"Anything else [that we need]?" - Elyse 
"His body." - Lochie 
"This [shaggy, curtain fabric] is hair." - Cedar
Picture
Picture
"This button can be his mouth. This is his mouth [holds button to photograph of the lion]. The button is a mouth. The  mouth is black, so we have to do a mouth because he needs a mouth." - Lochie
​
"This color [golden felt] matches his ear." - Cedar
"So, maybe that could be an ear. Could we sew it on as an ear?" - Elyse 
"Yeah!" - Cedar
"This brown, or this brown [holding up two felts similar to Cedar's choices]. We can use this broth. Let's use these browns to make ears." - Lochie

Lochie was carefully observing the photo of the lion as he worked to add the second eye and placement of the ears.
