One Week In, the First Sing Along, and a Backwards Day

One after the next, familiar faces appeared as we anticipated everyone's arrival today in Blake Hall, for our first sing along of the school year. How memorable it was for us to make eye contact,  smile, and wave to the  children as each of you entered the space, and we sat together with readiness to sing along!

Backwards Day

"...Take a plane to Kenya." -Cedar

Cedar engages Elyse in conversation about how she saw a giraffe in Kenya:
"It's too far to walk there (Kenya)," remarks Elyse to Cedar
"Could we take a field trip?" asked Melanie.
"No, take a plane." replied Cedar

​Just as we were heading to the stairs, at the end of our outdoor time, we were greeted by Molly and Jessica. New mulch was being delivered to the outdoor classroom! We asked the children if they knew what is mulch.

We suggested it is what Reed was putting onto the plate, which she successfully found after some group effort to locate one in the shed. (see photo above)

​This was followed by Molly volunteering show the children some mulch. They touched and observed the pieces of mulch in her hand. On Monday, the outdoor classroom will be refreshed with much more of it! Thank you, Molly and Jessica!

Soak up the weekend and enjoy it, until we reunite on Monday!
