our classmates.

Hard to believe we have been back at school already for over two weeks! We had a nice week of re-mote learning together, where we observed and drew our narcissus bulbs, learned a new poem, and shared stories.

Erin and Kevin were inspired by the rocks that Leo and Kiera painted last week, and coincidentally, Kevin had thought of that project, too. He actually thought maybe the kids could make Pet Rocks! In our classroom, the kids collect rocks daily — sharing them, using them to put into our Above and Beyond jar, wondering if they are crystals or even dinosaur fossils!

Fall is upon us! The warm weather means lots of time outside. We’ve been creating dinosaur soup in the mud kitchen, cutting down sunflowers with Jon Snow, and getting soaked at the water table. In the classroom we have been getting used to our daily routines.

March arrived, living up to its reputation as a lion. Fortunately we are having some lamb-like days, too, and can feel spring around the corner. In preparation for Soul Food Night, we studied the poem Snail, by Langston Hughes.

Fortunately the weather was warm enough to release them, and we wished them well on their journeys to a warmer climate.
Read MoreSpring seems to be here for real this time! With the warmer weather will come more time spent outside. Probably an updated/seasonal set of backup clothes will be in order, as well as sunscreen. On particularly sunny days we ask that if your child uses sunscreen, to apply it before school, and then we can reapply it in the afternoon. We intend to take advantage of the weather to do some exploring as spring slowly unfolds.
