Brown Room Snack Invitation

​“I have my envelope and symbols.” - Jade, 3.5 years

“I’m having my snack now.  We can have snack [with Brown Room] soon.” - Saul

​I heard that Sauly was going to make a collage message. - Elyse

“Well, I brought materials that are not the same as yours.” - Saul, 3.8 years

What does our invitation need to say? Have you ever gotten a birthday invitation where somebody says, ‘Will you please come to my birthday?’? - Elyse
“I didn’t have a birthday invitation.” - Jade 
So, if we want to ask somebody to do something with us, how can we ask them? If I wanted to invite you to the park I might say, ‘Sauly, will you come to the park with me?’. - Elyse
“Of course I will.” - Saul 
That’s an invitation, so how can we invite Brown Room? - Elyse
‘You can come in. You need to say ‘Come in when you’re ready. When you’re not ready you can’t come in.’.  - Jade
“We need XOXOX, XOXOX.” - Jade
Should our message say XOXOX like ‘kiss hug kiss hug kiss’? - Elyse
“Yes.” - Jade

If we only ask ‘Are you coming?’, do they know what we’re inviting them to do? - Elyse
“No. You need to think about it, and you need to think about it and Saul.  You need to think about if they are coming.” - Jade
I think we need to let them know what they’re coming to. - Elyse
“They’re coming to a place to do snack. You need to say, ‘Are you coming? Say yes or no.’” - Jade

​“I did bring glue, and I brought some of these pictures. I even have a pumpkin.” - Saul

“I’m drawing.” - Jade

Paige, Jade's mom, also walked her through adding the "To" and From", as well as adding the words that Jade suggested. 

I made a snack collage.  I sewed on a place mat, made a paper plate, and put some fruit and an avocado on it. - Elyse
“Now you going to eat it?” - Saul 
[I pretended to eat it]
“No, it’s just paper.” - Saul 
“It’s just pretend.” - Jade​

Monsters and Trucks 

We ended our call with a new monster book, who is taken apart to create a new scene; it's a new way to think about collage and deconstruction.  We also read a new construction book that the Brown Room let us borrow.  It has these incredibly cool and beautiful pages where you use a flashlight to show a hidden image! 

“You know how much I love trucks!” - Saul
