Giacomo's Back!

 A BIG LOCH NESS INSPIRED MESSAGE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR GIACOMO

We were so happy to have our dear friend, Giacomo back today after some time away due to circumstances at home. During our arrival, the children were, not surprisingly, calling out, "Giacomo's back!" Outside he was quick to catch on to everyone's well-loved catch and capture noodle play - Let the games begin! Welcome back, Giacomo!

Giacomo even wore his Loch Ness Monster shirt!

Giacomo inspired and influenced his friends to moisten their cracker. Observing Giacomo dip his cracker into water gave rise to consider a possible solution to Jane's former critique of this new gluten free cracker: "It's so plain!" Jane lamented. After several children decided to try their cracker with some good ol' H20, the consensus became that the cracker was not so plain with a spritz of water on top.

How Many Pots? - Counting (and measuring?) Our Plants

We are loving how our plants are growing. But how many pots are there? The children began to count, and the counting became a lot of counting over each other.  So we had to slow down and count one at a time. While we did not all arrive at the same number of pots, together we agreed that our total number of clay pots is nine. 

"One, two, three, four, five..."

What Started As Building Ended As Measuring Jordan

CEDAR: It will be bigger than the. We tried to stand it up but it won't stand up!
JORDAN: Is it as tall as me?
CEDAR: We have to measure it.
GIACOMO: Go closer to it and lay down. 
Jordan lies down
GIACOMO: We need to make it a bit taller.
CEDAR: It's not ready yet. We'll tell you when it's ready.
