It was an "all Rainey Room" day in the virtual classroom. We were sad that we did not get to see Saul, but we had a great day together. There was so much joy and silliness! We made some messages for friends so that they would know we were thinking of them even in our time apart.
"I'm making a sandwich [message] for Jane [...] with sparkle markers." - Janie, 3.10 years "Last year, when it was my birthday, she [Bubby] came to school with me and mommy and daddy, but the baby boy was not in mommy's tummy. When I had my poster." - Sylvie I remember that you brought your poster and Bubby. I remember when Janie had her birthday she brought her mommy and daddy. Audrey, I think we did your birthday on Zoom, and you brought a video. We saw so many photos of Audrey traveling to so many different places. - Katie "I"m going to have Christmas with Nai Nai. And Sydney and Nelly going to be there. Sydney is older than Nelly. Nelly is three-year old, and she only drinks milk." - Audrey She's a baby. She's zero. - Sarah
"At my dentist, he was a boy and he didn't know Moo Moo [Audrey's lovie]." - Audrey "At my dentist there was a tv in the ceiling of 'Daniel Tiger'." - Sylvie "You have to go to the dentist cause they have to make sure there no cavities, which is a little hole in our tooth." - Sylvie "At the doctor when we were done and the dentist got us a new toothbrush." - Audrey "I got a new toothbrush too!" - Sylvie "I did that once." - Janie "Yeah, I was really brave." - Sylvie  Sleeping Lions!
Making a plan for Sylvie's birthday: Before we see Sylvie again, Sylvie is going to have a birthday. So, maybe I can FaceTime with you for a minute to tell you happy birthday. Can we make a plan? "What if after spring is done, and after all of the snow is gone, we will...before my birthday, we will make a plan. That means that when you remember to FaceTime with me at like...." - Sylvie [turns to Katie] "Mommy, what PM is it that the park gets dark?" - Sylvie Four - Katie "At four. You will FaceTime with me at 4 pm." - Sylvie "And remember, you try to think which day is my birthday." - Sylvie Can I guess now? "Yeah." - Sylvie Is your birthday January 6th? "Yeah!" - Sylvie "[singing] Happy birthday to Sylvie!" - Janie

Unfortunately, the Zoom video for this day is completely blank. The screen is black.
Audrey and her mom, Sarah shared an incredible game with us that they like to play at home. You give three clues about an animal, and the other person has to guess! We had so much fun playing this game with them! Some animals are hard to guess, and others are a bit easier. Sarah also read one of Audrey's favorite books for us. We will certainly have to try playing this game together another time. Miller Family Tradition - Celebrating HanukkahSaul's family was kind enough to go first for our Virtual Classroom Family Traditions. They brought a book and some videos to share with us about Hanukkah. Saul's dad, Jamie, shared the story of Hanukkah, and we also learned that Saul was born in Jerusalem.
What else do we have at home that can spin? Janie brought gears. Sylvie had a small scale, some wooden nuts and bolts, and of course, she can spin her body. Audrey had a wooden car and green spinning top. Saul had quite the collection of dreidels, bowls, and round objects. “I have clay! See, clay! There’s all kind of clay right here! I’ve got clay!” - Saul, 3.4 years
We had the wonderful opportunity to join both Rainey Room pods via zoom to work with clay.
Sylvie, Audrey, and the rest of us. Do you see what we put on the table? - Melanie [child answers] Yeah, they look like people, right? So, we are going to work today on making a person; the form of a person. In Rainey Room B we talked about body parts. RRB, what parts does a person have? - Melanie [child] Arms, head, neck…knee So we were thinking that with all of our clay knowledge about coiling and rolling, do you think we can make a person? - Melanie Giacomo, what was your idea of who you are going to make? - Melanie “A friend.” - Giacomo
Melanie, I’m not sure how I’m going to add a torso to your legs. - Elyse Sylvie and Audrey, do you have any ideas about how Elyse can add a torso, a body, to my legs? - Melanie I have her legs [holds them up]. How do I attach her body? - Elyse “You just have to stick it on like I did when I sticked you when you were a baby on top of the turtle.” - Sylvie Oh, Sylvie has a good pounding tool. Does that make a good texture Sylvie? “Yeah, it makes it flatter.” - Sylvie [Katie] Do you want to tell Jen your secret? “There’s a toothbrush inside there.” - Sylvie [Katie] It’s a clothespin. During our call, Janie brought up the conversation about why we have two Rainey Rooms. |
