It felt like a long wait but the new playground is here and already being enjoyed! Despite the ominous skies, Mr. T and Miss Abby introduced all four Kindergarten classes to the new structure and got things off to a safe and happy start.
For added excitement, last week also brought us "May the fourth". For those who aren't huge Star Wars fans the significance may take a minute... "May the fourth be with you?" ... ah, now you see.
We had some fun with Star Wars themed yoga and one friend even created a favorite character with a new math material called Cuisinaire Rods. Have a look...
Whether working alone or collaboratively, these building pieces inspire great things and I can't wait to show the kids next week that we can actually "do math" with them too! Each size rod has a value such that a white and a light green (a 1 and a 2) equal a yellow (a 3) etc. Stay tuned!
We looked at outside and inside fun, but Farm to School brought a little of both! In perfect timing with our classroom science learning about seeds and plants, we were able to plant some spinach and cucumber seeds with our Farm to School teacher AND sample some green juice. We'll continue taking care of these seed starts along with the peas we planted in our recycled milk and yogurt containers!
