Prints, Prints, Prints!!

We are using printmaking as a medium to decorate the area with everyone's school pictures!  Many Rainey Room children were focused on the multi-step process of carving into a styrofoam printing plate, rolling on the ink, and pressing down a piece of paper.

Hover over the images in the gallery below to see more memorable moments from our day...

Wolf M said, "I'm making something for Annavella." Grace heard this and said, "Is that your babysitter? That's a nice name."

Fletcher used this 3D element of his collage to guide his drawing.

Gigi used collage materials to make a unicorn horn. "There's nothing that's beautifuller than a unicorn" she said.

Lately the doctor play has been all about "emergencies" and driving the ambulance to sick patients.

Today the kitchen area evolved into a car based on an idea from Oliver. It was long enough to include at least 8 people when we stopped for cleanup.

Palmer in construction: "I was looking at this book and it told me how to build that."

(This is the staircase picture Palmer indicated)

Emilia also took a close look. From there, they built a castle that involved a jail.

(The jail is under the while curved blocks. Palmer holds the sheriff)

Lane builds a "road to block the jail" perhaps to prevent anyone from escaping.

A new exciting tool in our doctor area: "Pam", a human body model that has removable organs. "The heart makes you feel better when you take a heartbeat" said Evelyn in a discussion about Pam's pieces.

Two unicorns!!
